The Pakistan Stock Exchange witnessed a historic rally on Tuesday, with the 100 Index jumping 9,700 points to reach 155,000, prompting the exchange to impose an upper lock and temporarily halt trading.

Investors saw strong gains across sectors, driving the benchmark index to its highest level ever.

The upper lock mechanism was applied to prevent excessive volatility during the sharp surge.

Market analysts say the rally reflects renewed investor confidence and positive sentiment in both domestic and international markets.
