Despite political tension and security concern, Dhaka stocks finished Monday's trading session at the positive territory with substantial recovery from the fall in the last two consecutive trading sessions. Radical Jamaat-e- Islami called a daylong countrywide strike on Monday as the first war crimes tribunal set for its former chief Ghulam Azam's verdict. Trading at the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) began in the morning downward amidst concern about political uncertainty and insecurity. Investors, however, got back their positive mood as they saw no sign of any bigger trouble around.
DSE General Index reached at 4736.03 after regaining by 132.57 points or by 2.87 percent from Sunday's close. The DSEX also advanced by 68.89 points or 1.63 percent to climb at 4275.49 when the DS30 gained 44.85 points or 2.79 percent to finish the day higher at 1650.74. The daily turnover also increased a lot with a turnover of Taka 832.46 crore, which was Taka 581.61 crore on Sunday.
Like in the previous few trading sessions, buyers on Monday continued to chase shares of telecom and fuel and energy companies taking GrameenPhone, Meghna Petroleum, Padma Oil, Jamuna Oil and Bangladesh Submarine Cable among the top turnover leader.
