BSS, Dhaka :
Share market maintained rally on Sunday on higher activities around small and mid-cap stocks, with the daily share transaction value at Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) crossing Taka 700 crore after November 2014.
The benchmark DSEX index of DSE finished the first session of the week at 4315.99 when the blue-chip DS30 and Shariah DSES ended up at 1630.19 and 1051.43 respectively. The increase in the indices was marginal, but it was indicative of steady trend in trading.
The broader DSEX index gained nearly 200 points last week, which was encouraging for the investors who came up with more investment on Sunday, taking the daily trade value to Taka 710.60 crore, the highest after November 16, 2014 when the total turnover value was Taka 753 crore.
The trade volume, however, fell to 15.37 crore shares from Thursday’s 17.33 crore shares when investors were cap-focused. The cap-focused trading also resulted in price fall for 188 securities when 106 gained and 13 remained static.
BSCCL, RAK Ceramic, Power Grid, Saif Power and Khan Brother were the top gainers of the day when the major losers included Intech, Wata Chemical, Premier Bank, Standard Insurance and AIBL1stMF.
UPGDL topped the turnover leaders followed by BSCCL, RAK Ceramic, KPCL and Saif Power.
Like DSE, Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) also opened the week bullish. The CSCX index, which finished the week lower, rebounded on Sunday and finished the day 21.20 points higher at 8154.30.
