DSE, CSE fall on week’s last trading day

Published : Thursday, 23 January, 2025 at 5:19 PM  Count : 431

The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chattogram Stock Exchange (CSE) closed lower on Thursday, with major indices declining as most traded companies saw share prices falling.

The benchmark DSEX index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange fell by 10 points, closing lower for the day.

The Shariah-compliant DSES index dropped by 4 points, while the blue-chip DS-30 index declined by 6 points.
Out of 398 companies traded, 204 saw price declines, 105 posted gains, and 89 remained unchanged. A-category stocks performed similarly, with prices rising for 53 companies, falling for 119, and remaining static for 46.
Of the 36 listed banks, 7 registered price gains, 10 experienced losses, and the remainder were unchanged. Midland Bank led the gainers in the banking sector, while Global Islami Bank topped the list of decliners, reports UNB.

Turnover on the DSE decreased by Tk 57 crore compared to the previous day, with total transactions amounting to Tk 356.26 crore, down from Tk 413 crore.

The Chattogram Stock Exchange mirrored the DSE's decline, with its overall index falling by 69 points. Among the 192 companies traded, 59 recorded gains, 104 experienced losses, and 29 remained unchanged.

The CSE saw a total of 2.02 million shares traded in 1,802 transactions, with a turnover of Tk 5.67 crore.

Seven companies distributed their declared dividends for the third quarter of 2024 on Thursday, though most dividends were lower compared to the same period in 2023.

ACI Limited declared a 20 per cent dividend, down from 40 per cent last year. United Power Generation and Distribution Company offered a 60 per cent dividend, a decline from the 80 per cent provided in 2023.

The week's closing trading session reflects ongoing volatility in both the Dhaka and Chattogram stock markets. While some sectors, like textiles, showed positive trends, the overall market sentiment remains subdued, with declining turnovers and broad-based losses across indices.
