This paper examines the relationship between big data and financial stocks of Pakistan. It examines and tests the relationship between search engine query volumes related to terrorism and financial market KSE 100 Index. Collecting data from 19 different search terms related to terrorism, this paper extends the study by applying linear regression between search queries and KSE 100 index prices. The results show statistically significant and positive between search keywords and prices which mean that frequency or changes in search indices is correlated with prices of KSE 100 index fluctuations. So frequency of keywords related to terrorism is showing the number of terrorism attacks happening in the country which might be means that these attacks are somehow affecting the stock market.
