Pakistan Market Wrap: PSX Ends Higher Despite Choppy Trade – By HMFS Research

Feb 11 2026


HMFS Research


  • The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) experienced a choppy yet decisively positive session, as early selling pressure dragged the index lower before a strong recovery took hold mid-morning. Sentiment improved after the State Bank of Pakistan’s governor signaled confidence in the economic outlook, projecting FY26 growth of up to 4.75%—countering the IMF’s recent downgrade. The SBP has revised its growth range upward to 3.75–4.75%, reflecting improved domestic momentum despite weaker exports and a widening trade gap in the first half of the fiscal year. Additionally, remittance inflows provided further support, rising over 11% YoY to USD 23.2bn during 7MFY26, reinforcing external account stability.
  • Strong accumulation in the final trading hours propelled the benchmark index firmly into positive territory, with the KSE-100 closing at 183,050 level—up 896 points. Market participation remained elevated, with traded volumes reaching 350mn shares on the KSE-100 and 731mn shares on the All-Share Index, reflecting sustained investor engagement. KEL (121mn shares), CNERGY (82mn shares), and FNEL (52mn shares) led the activity chart, dominating turnover for the session. In the short term, the market is likely to move within a limited range as investors assess elevated valuations alongside selective earnings strength and evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape. Given this backdrop, a disciplined, stock-specific strategy remains prudent. Investors should capitalize on intermittent pullbacks to build exposure in fundamentally strong counters, while exercising caution in index-heavy names where valuations appear extended.

Pakistan Economy: SBP has decreased the Cash Reserves Ratio (CRR) to 5% - By Topline Research

Jan 26 2026


Topline Securities


  • As per the SBP governor press briefing, the Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) has been reduced by 100bps to 5% on a weekly average basis and 3% daily basis, which is likely to create additional liquidity for banks. To highlight, CRR requirement for banks was increased in Nov 2021 to mop up liquidity from market amidst higher inflation levels. Reverting to old ratio shows central bank’s comfort in inflation outlook.
  • The Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) is the proportion of banks’ applicable time and demand liabilities (TDLs) that they are required to hold in the form of cash with the SBP on a fortnightly average basis. Since SBP does not remunerate deposits that banks keep with it to meet the CRR, these funds do not generate any return.
