Analysts have identified several key factors contributing to this remarkable surge. Foremost among them is the anticipation of a favourable outcome from the upcoming monetary policy announcement scheduled for October 30. This highly awaited announcement is expected to influence market dynamics significantly.
Another crucial event on the horizon is the imminent review by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This review carries substantial importance as it is seen as a potential seal of approval for the government’s economic policies. These developments are further bolstering investor sentiment and driving the stock market to new heights.
