PSX KSE-100 Index Today (Pakistan Stock Exchange)

Why this matters

The KSE-100 is the fastest read on how investors judge Pakistan's economy. It moves on rate decisions, IMF news and political events long before those show up in inflation or growth figures.

Economy: A rising index makes it cheaper for listed companies to raise money and signals confidence to foreign investors; a sustained fall tightens financing and can drain the foreign exchange the market brings in.

For you: Most people do not own shares directly, but pension and insurance savings are invested here, and a market falling on rate or currency news is usually an early warning about both.
