BSS, Dhaka :
Dhaka stocks rebounded on Thursday to finish the week in black after witnessing a ceaseless fall in the past four trading sessions.

The daily turnover value and volume, however, declined to Taka 223 crore and 6.39 crore shares accordingly from Wednesday’s Taka 281.92 crore for 8.66 crore shares.
Out of 306 issues traded, 172 were on the advancing side when 85 declined and 49 remained static.
CNA Textiles Limited topped the turnover leaders followed by Lafarge Surma, NFML, IDLC and Western Marine.
The major gainers were CAN Textile, Alltex, NFML, Northern Jute and ICB when the major losers were Progressive Life, Saiham Cotton, Islami Insurance, Sonali Ansh and Federal Insurance.
