Karachi recently witnessed a significant milestone in its financial landscape as the Pakistan Stock Market 100-Index soared past the 78,000-point threshold for the first time in history. The post-Eid trading day showcased a remarkable surge in the stock exchange, with the 100-Index climbing to 78,073 points, reflecting a substantial increase of 1,315 points from the previous week's closing at 76,707 points.

Concurrently, the interbank market experienced an uptick in the value of the US dollar. Following the Eid holidays, the US currency appreciated by Rs0.20 in the interbank market, leading to its trading at Rs278.70 interbank.
