Bangladesh’s stock markets reopened on a downward note Saturday (15 June) following a 10-day Eid-ul-Azha holiday, with both the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chattogram Stock Exchange (CSE) witnessing declines in key indices and share prices.
During the first hour of trading, the DSE’s benchmark index dropped by 26 points, while the Shariah-based DSES and the blue-chip DS30 each lost 8 points. The majority of listed firms saw price drops, with 212 stocks falling, 46 advancing, and 50 remaining unchanged. Turnover during this period was recorded at Tk 30 crore.
The CSE also reflected the bearish trend, with its main index falling by 44 points. Of the 17 companies that traded early, share prices declined for 8, rose for 7, and remained unchanged for 2. Turnover at the CSE reached approximately Tk 9 lakh.
Market analysts attributed the drop to cautious investor sentiment following the extended holiday.
