KSE-100 index crossed much awaited level of 10,000 points

Bullish trend continued in the Karachi Stock Exchange on Friday and the KSE index reached the much awaited level of 10,000 points during its last trading session of the week.
The KSE-100 index closed at 10,025 after gaining 146 points towards the end of the session as healthy buying spurred the index to breach the psychological level of 10,000 points after 19 months.
Trading began on a positive note, though volumes were still relatively low as only 181 million shares were traded today. Foreign investors have been quite active at the bourse, while some local pickings also helped the markets cause. The twin blast in Lahore did damage the sentiment of the investors.
