Stocks continue to maintain upward trend on Monday extending the wining spell for third consecutive sessions in a row, while the prime index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Shariah index reached a new high on higher transactions.
DSEX finished the day with 12.17 points up at 6,319.12 which were the highest after introducing the DSEX on January 27, 2013. The DSES for Shariah-based companies also closed the day with 9.45 points up at 1,392.73 which were also the highest after introducing the DSES on January 20, 2014.
But the blue chip scrips closed the day with 4.23 points down at 2,286.12.
The day’s trade value at DSE increased to Taka 1,158.50 crore from Sunday’s Taka 970.79 crore and the daily trade also rose to 33.45 crore share from 24.76 crore share of the previous session.
The main reason behind the increased transactions and indices was that banks and some large-cap securities are showing better performance as the investors have become confident over the securities, Azam Securities Limited Managing Director Ahmed Kabir Majumder said.
