Equities on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) fell for a third consecutive week, as bargain hunters picked up select shares after the recent slump, but weak momentum kept the market in the red.<\/p>\n

The capital bourse endured another challenging week as broad-based selloffs in the absence of a reviving catalyst for the ailing market pushed the market indices to decline further, said EBL Securities in its weekly market review.<\/p>\n

The DSEX, the key index of the premier bourse, declined 34.8 points, or 0.64 percent, to close at 5,415.13.<\/p>\n

Other indices performed similarly, with the DS30, which tracks blue-chip stocks and the DSES, comprising Shariah-compliant companies, both dropped, according to DSE data.<\/p>\n

Although bargain hunters are turning back to the market as opportunistic investors targeted a handful of stocks trading at lucrative price levels, the weak market momentum kept equity indices anchored in negative territory, said EBL Securities.<\/p>\n

Turnover, a key indicator of investor activity, fell sharply to Tk 2,918.83 crore, down from Tk 3,505.32 crore in the previous week.<\/p>\n

On a daily average, turnover stood at Tk 580 crore, down 16.7 percent week-on-week.<\/p>\n

“Investor sentiment mostly remained cautious ahead of the upcoming earnings season, with many participants opting to secure short-term gains and closely monitor market trend,” EBL Securities said.<\/p>\n

Most sectors closed lower, with banks losing the most 1.9 percent, while services gained the most 3.7 percent.<\/p>\n

Market breadth was largely negative as 219 issues declined, 139 advanced and 37 remained unchanged.<\/p>\n

Among individual issues, GQ Ball Pen Industries was the top gainer, soaring 17.8 percent, while Baraka Power Limited endured the sharpest fall, plunging 20.7 percent during the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Equities on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) fell for a third consecutive week, as bargain hunters picked up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[114,85,46,190],"class_list":["post-41175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-markets","tag-business","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-markets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
