Stocks finished week flat on Thursday after setting some records during an eventful week in terms of market trend and activities.
The broader DSEX and the Shariah DSES indices of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) set a new record at 5575.47 and 1276.45 on the third session of the week on active buying around large-cap securities. The daily turnover in volume also hit six-year high at over 70 lakh shares on the same day.
The upward trend in the market indicators and activities, however, started simmering off on the following day and finally ended the week flat with declining transactions.
DSEX finished the week flat at 5534.06 after plummeting in the red area on Wednesday while market suffered major corrections. The blue-chip DS30 was also flat at 1983.70 at week’s close, with the DSES ending at 1275.55.
