DHAKA, Sept 02, 2025 (BSS) - Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), the capital bourse, today resumed its upward trajectory following a single-day breather, as investors continue chasing equity positions owing to sustained confidence across the trading board, pushing the benchmark index above the 5,600 level for the first time in 11 months. 

DSEX, the broad index of the DSE, gained 37.1 points to settle at 5,621 points as against 5,584 points in the previous trading session. 

Market analysts observed that the market's recovery has been aided by investors' positive sentiment due to prevailing macroeconomic stability, along with clarity on the political front over the upcoming national elections.
