FE Report
Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) ended its Monday session with marginal gain amid high volatility as a section of investors is still observing the market situation following the appointment of SEC chair.
"Though the market started with upbeat note and maintained the trend for almost entire session, late profit booking from some sectors wiped off early gains," market insiders said.
The benchmark DSE General Index (DGEN), main gauge of the market, gained 2.95 points or 0.05 per cent to close at 5,791.10.
The broader All Shares Price Index (DSI) rose 2.54 points or 0.05 per cent to close at 4,814.92. The DSE-20 index comprising blue-chip shares also rose 19.01 points or 0.50 per cent to close at 3,775.69.
Turnover volume, in value terms, stood at Tk 6.09 billion, up by 8.75 per cent, from Tk 5.6 billion in the previous session. Turnover crossed Tk 6.0 billion mark Monday since March 28. On March 28, the turnover was Tk 6.66 billion.
The market opened with a flying note, gaining 70 points within five minutes of its start. The market experienced ups and downs several times throughout the session and finally ended the day with only 2.95 points higher.
AB Mirza Azizul Islam, former finance adviser to the caretaker government, said, "Today's market situation was good and stable as it closed almost flat though it experienced some volatility."
A section of investors is still observing the market situation following the appointment of the new SEC chairman and they want to see his policy measures, Mr Islam added.
"We have to observe few more sessions to see what kind of measures the new SEC chairman takes. If the SEC works properly, the market would be stabled soon," said Mr Islam, who was also the chairman of SEC.
A total of 62.54 million shares changed hands on the day against 59.72 million in the previous session. The trade deals also increased to 150,993 against Sunday's 140,184.
