DSE up marginally, CSE down slightly

Mixed trend drove the DSE at the beginning of a new week yesterday when majority of the issues traded gained, but the price indices closed flat due to lack of strong support from the demand side.
The market opened with some strength from early-hour active purchase of small-cap shares, but the positive vibe could not sustain for the rest of the session when large-caps were not in great demand like in a bullish market.
Service, real-estate, chemical, pharmaceutical and power sectors attracted some investors
after losing during the few past sessions, but they were cautious in making bigger commitments ahead of the first quarter (Q1) economic data and the Eid-ul-Azha. As a result, the daily transaction slid further.
