Bangladesh’s stock markets opened higher on Tuesday, recovering from two consecutive sessions of losses as both major bourses recorded gains in early trading.
The benchmark index at the Dhaka Stock Exchange rose by 26 points at the start of the session, while the Shariah-based DSES gained 5 points and the blue-chip DS30 index edged up by 4 points.
Market activity showed a strong upward trend, with advancing issues significantly outnumbering decliners. A total of 250 companies saw price increases, compared to 61 that declined, while 75 remained unchanged.
Turnover during the first half of the session reached around Tk 350 crore.
The Chittagong Stock Exchange also followed the positive trend, with its CASPI index gaining nearly 20 points.
Out of the traded issues on the CSE, 62 advanced, 31 declined and 9 remained unchanged, with a turnover of Tk 7 crore in the first half.
Market analysts said the rebound reflects renewed investor interest following recent losses, though the sustainability of the trend will depend on broader market confidence.
