Stocks rebounded strongly on Sunday as all three indices soared by more than 1.0 per cent each, powered by investors’ buying spree on large-cap stocks.
Stockbrokers said the market registered a sharp gain, snapping a recent bearish spell, driven by rally in telecommunication sector as the sector’s heavyweight Grameenphone’s share rose 7.52 per cent.

It was also the lowest turnover in more than two months since July 16, when turnover totalled Tk 2.71 billion.
Gainers took a strong lead over the losers as out of 351 issues traded, 185 closed higher, 106 ended lower and 60 remained unchanged on the DSE trading floor.

GP topped the turnover chart with shares worth more than Tk 386 million changing hands, followed by Monno Jute Stafflers, JMI Syringes, National Tubes and Fortune Shoes.
JMI Syringes was the day’s best performer, posting a gain of 10.85 per cent following its corporate declaration while Emerald Oil Industries was the day’s worst loser, plunging by 9.52 per cent.
