Experts believe this bullish sentiment is fueled by decreasing political uncertainty and strong corporate earnings. Additionally, falling interest rates are driving liquidity in the market, with real estate investments underperforming. Recent data shows inflation fell to 6.9% in September, the lowest since January 2021, thanks to stable commodity prices and a steady currency. Analysts speculate that another rate cut could occur, potentially leading to a total reduction of 400 basis points by December, attracting more foreign investment in Pakistan’s capital market.
