Dhaka stocks gain for 2nd day

Dhaka stocks advanced for the second trading session on Sunday, first trading day of the week, with investors switching to banks, non-bank financial institutions and textile sectors. Turnover at the Dhaka Stock Exchange, however, dropped amid a decreased participation of investors. DSEX, the key index of the DSE, finished at 4,616.44 points, adding 0.38 per cent or 17.52 points. Turnover at the bourse declined to Tk 399.15 crore from Tk 444.08 crore in the previous trading session.

Market operators said turnover fell as investors took a wait-and-see policy to their next investment move as the shares became matured for sales after the introduction of T+2 trading cycle on Wednesday. Profit-taking sales of the shares of some large capitalised companies and multinational companies continued for another session on Sunday, they said. Investors switched to banks, NBFIs and textile sectors from the heavyweight fuel and power, cement and MNCs, they said. ‘Investors’ preference changed a bit which was stimulated with the news of positive export growth, especially in the textile sector,’ IDLC Investments said in its daily market commentary. ‘Besides, lower price at scrips-level also generated another stimulus. These twin factors assisted textile to lead in sectoral performance with a 2.70-per cent gain,’ it said.

‘However, investors were seemed to be hesitant of positioning in large capitalised stocks because of their recent spike in prices,’ said IDLC. DS30, the blue-chip index of the bourse declined to 1,698.56 points, shedding 0.26 per cent or 4.59 points on Sunday. The Shariah index of DSE, DSES, fell by 0.05 per cent, or 0.60 points, to close at 1,034.32 points on the day. Of the 286 shares and mutual funds traded on the day, 182 advanced, 86 declined and 20 remained unchanged.

Meghna Petroleum led the turnover leaders on the day with its shares worth Tk 26.81 crore changing hands. Lafarge Surma Cement, Heidelberg Cement, Grameenphone, Olympic Industries, Padma Oil, Square Pharmaceuticals, United Commercial Bank, AB Bank and Familytex were among the other turnover leaders on the day. Agni Systems gained the most on the day with a 9.90-per cent increase in its share price, while Phoenix Finance and Investments lost the most, shedding 7.34 per cent.
