Despite the holiday-shortened week, the market kicked off positively on Wednesday, with the ASPI surging by 215.07 points. Growing investor confidence is being driven by strong quarterly earnings from most companies. Additionally, encouraging macroeconomic and geopolitical developments, such as robust private credit growth, declining impairments and NPLs in the banking sector, the temporary easing of tariffs between China and the USA during ongoing trade talks, and a ceasefire between Pakistan and India, are further strengthening market sentiment.
