Stocks continue to rise on speculative buying

Stocks maintained upward movements for the second session of this week on speculative buying ahead of quarterly earning declaration of listed securities, reports BSS. 
The broader DSEX price index of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) gained nearly 12 points to finish the day at 4676.75, with the blue-chip DS30 and Shariah DSES easing further up at 1753.80 and 1119.67 respectively.
The daily trade volume, however, declined by 3.84 per cent to 18.46 crore shares and the value fell by 6.10 per cent to Tk 607.16 crore due to cap-focused buying.
Market analysts said that most of the buyers were active around mid and small cap groups that resulted in price rise of majority of the issues traded of these two cap categories.
"Some large-cap stocks also got buyers' preference as to safeguarding the investors' position against any volatility towards the year end," said Lanka Bangla Securities Limited.
The market remained in favour of sellers while 156 securities closed higher against 121 losing issues. Among the major sectors, bank, engineering and NBFI advanced when food and allied, fuel and power and cement declined.
