What it means for people in Pakistan
A rising stock market reflects growing investor confidence in the economy, and a strong run can lift the value of pension funds, mutual funds and savings linked to shares. Market levels can move in either direction, however, so a record close is a snapshot of the day rather than a guarantee of future gains.
