Last week, profit-taking led to a significant decline in the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), with the KSE-100 index dropping 4,339.7 points (-3.7%) to close at 113,247.29, after reaching a high of 118,735.1. The index reversed a previous 5.56% gain, showing a 3.69% dip in USD terms. On the economic front, the UAE extended a $2 billion loan, and the ADB raised Pakistan's FY25 growth target to 3%. Strong remittances of $3.1 billion in December (+29% YoY) and a successful GIS auction that raised Rs138 billion provided some stability, despite a $15 million drop in SBP reserves to $11.7 billion. Overall, investor sentiment improved, lifting fiscal year-to-date returns for the KSE-100 index to 44.36%.
