The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday breached the 156,000-point barrier amid continued investor optimism on the back of improving macroeconomic indicators.

The KSE-100 index climbed by 1,810.11 points to close at 156,087.30, up by 1.17 per cent from the previous close of 154,277.19.

The PSX has witnessed a bullish trend in recent days, despite concerns over risks to the economy due to the ongoing floods, with the Pakistan Business Forum estimating the losses to crops worth billions of rupees.
