PSX Week Ahead: Oil, Peace Talks and an Iqbal Day Holiday on 9 November

What to Watch on the PSX

Holiday calendar

The Pakistan Stock Exchange is closed on Monday, 9 November 2026 for Iqbal Day and reopens on Tuesday, 10 November. Holiday weeks often bring thinner volume and sharper moves around the break.

The main drivers

• Oil prices: crude fell sharply on 2 November on hopes for US-Iran talks. Lower oil is good for Pakistan's import bill.
• Diplomacy: every headline on efforts to end the war involving Iran has moved the KSE-100 this month.
• IMF: any news on the programme, the policy rate or the rupee.

Levels in focus

The KSE-100 closed at 166,564.06 on 2 November, after trading between 165,585 and 166,990 that day. Those intraday extremes are the first levels traders will watch.
