The KSE-100 index of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) closed at 172,013.48 on Wednesday 4 November 2026, up 3,994.62 points or 2.38% from Tuesday's 168,018.86. Banks led the rise: United Bank, National Bank, Habib Bank and Meezan Bank were all among the top seven point makers, and 90 of the 100 index shares rose.

We read the close, the day's range and every one of the 100 index shares on the PSX data portal after trading ended. It was the biggest one-day gain of the month so far, more than double Tuesday's. Below are the shares that moved the index, the volume, the other indices, and how to check the close yourself.

KSE-100 rose 3,994.62 points to 172,013.48 on 4 November

The KSE-100 gained 3,994.62 points, or 2.38%, to close at 172,013.48 on 4 November 2026. It traded between 168,355.26 and 172,286.99, so it never dipped below Tuesday's close of 168,018.86.

Over two days the index is up 5,449.42 points from Monday's 166,564.06. The portal still shows it 1.17% lower for 2026 so far, and it is 19,019.25 points below its 52-week high of 191,032.73. Tuesday's session is in the 3 November close.

For a saver with Rs 100,000 in a fund that tracks the KSE-100, a 2.38% day is worth about Rs 2,380 before fees. Funds do not track the index exactly, so the real figure will differ a little.

Banks added the most points, led by United Bank

United Bank added 293.07 points, the most of any share, as it rose 2.26% to Rs 422.00. Fauji Fertilizer added 245.35 points and Hub Power 241.62. The ten biggest point makers together gave the index 2,065.93 points, a little over half the day's gain.

Five of those ten were banks: United Bank, National Bank, Habib Bank, Meezan Bank and Askari Bank. Between them they added 1,032.87 points. The bank index, BKTI, rose 2.61%, faster than the KSE-100 itself. The weight each share carries in the index is in the KSE-100 companies and weights.

National Bank jumped 6.92% and Askari Bank 8.79%, large moves for big banks. Bank of Punjab rose 10.00% to Rs 30.90, the biggest percentage gain in the index, and was also the busiest index share with 58.2 million shares traded. Habib Bank, Meezan Bank and Askari Bank were marked XD, which means buyers from now on do not get the dividend just announced. No bank had posted a notice explaining the jump when we checked, so we do not give a reason.

Only 10 of the 100 index shares fell

The fall side was small. Pakistan Services, which had risen 10% on each of the two days before, dropped 2.87% to Rs 1,157.91 and took 37.74 points off. No other share cost the index more than 10 points.

1. Pakistan Services (PSEL): down 2.87% to Rs 1,157.91, minus 37.74 points.
2. Highnoon Laboratories (HINOON): down 1.25% to Rs 957.55, minus 9.20 points.
3. Nestle Pakistan (NESTLE): down 0.42% to Rs 6,941.25, minus 4.80 points.
4. Unilever Pakistan Foods (UPFL): down 0.33% to Rs 25,801.57, minus 1.61 points.
5. Ibrahim Fibres (IBFL): down 0.97% to Rs 242.65, minus 1.32 points.

Pakistan Services trades very thinly, only 13,353 shares on the day. A share that moves 10% on so few trades can turn just as fast, which is what happened here.

Volume rose 63% to 841.6 million shares

The regular market traded 841.6 million shares worth Rs 35.39 billion in 416,834 trades on 4 November. That is about 63% more shares and 71% more value than Tuesday's 517.3 million shares and Rs 20.70 billion.

Of the 100 index shares, 90 rose and 10 fell. On Tuesday 67 rose. A day where nearly every share rises, on much higher volume, is a broad rise rather than one carried by a few heavy shares. K-Electric (up 6.57% to Rs 6.00) and Cnergyico (up 1.96% to Rs 11.97) were the next busiest index shares after Bank of Punjab.

The market is shut on Monday 9 November for Allama Iqbal Day, as listed in the PSX holidays for 2026. That leaves Thursday and Friday as the last two sessions of this week. Profit from selling shares is taxed, and the rates for filers and non-filers are in capital gains tax on shares.
