Stocks perform mixed in first session of FY18

Stocks performed mixed in the first session of the fiscal 2017-18 yesterday with major indices finishing flat despite increases in the daily transactions, which rose at the market that prevented price indices from sharp decline, reports BSS.

The daily transactions at the two markets rose considerably. The trade value at Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) increased to Tk 855.13 crore from Thursday’s Tk 801.19 crore when the trade volume was up to 25.32 crore from 24.40 crore shares of the last session.

At Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE), the trade value increased to Tk 63.15 crore and the volume to 2.44 crore shares over previous session’s Tk 34.65 crore and 1.43 crore shares respectively.

The broader DSEX index at DSE closed the day with 1.43 points down at 5654.62. The blue-chip DS30 also followed the same trend with 5.05 points down at 2078.76. But the Shariah DSES closed the day with 0.76 point up at 1297.51.

CSE also closed the first session of FY18 with downward trend as its major CASPI 14.71 points down at 17,501.99.

“Stocks finished the previous two sessions upward after the Eid-ul-Fitr vacation. So, the mixed performance yesterday is normal though it was the first session of FY18,” DSE Managing Director KAM Majedur Rahman told the news agency yesterday.

At DSE, 179 issues gained when 113 incurred loss and 38 remained unchanged out of the traded 330 securities. Similarly, 131 issues ended higher at CSE against 96 losing and 29 static issues.
