KARACHI – Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) extended its bullish trend on Friday as the KSE-100 index climbed to a new record high after gaining 381 points with trading session underway.
The benchmark 100-index has crossed the 3,000 points barrier as it currently settles at 83,102.76 points at the time of filing this story.
