DHAKA, Nov 27, 2025 (BSS) – Stocks today reverted to recovery momentum as investors continued rebalancing their portfolios, fueled by renewed optimism surrounding the declaration of the upcoming national election schedule. 

DSEX, the broad index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange, increased by 18.3 points and settled at 5,028 points as against 5,010 points in the previous trading session.

Investors stayed active on both sides of the trading fence, setting a volatile tone early in the session. However, buyers gained modest dominance as the session progressed extending the index by 32 points from previous session. 

 But the momentum proved short-lived as late-session sell pressure chipped away at those gains, ultimately guiding the market to settle at today’s closing level. 

 Meanwhile, market turnover fell by 16.8% to Taka 4.4 billion from Taka  5.3 billion in the previous session. 

On the sectoral front, Engineering (14.0%) accounted for the highest share of turnover, followed by Fuel & Power (12.8%) and Textile (10.6%). Sectors displayed mostly positive returns, out of which Paper (1.7%), Textile (1.3%) and Ceramic (1.1%) exhibited the most positive returns on the bourse today, while mutual fund (-1.2%), IT (-0.6%) and Gen Ins (-0.5%) exerted some corrections. 

Of the 397 issues traded, 169 advanced, 135 declined, and 93 remained unchanged. 

The port city bourse, CSE, also settled on a positive zone. The Selective Categories' Index (CSCX) and All Share Price Index (CASPI) increased by 15.6 points and 25.7 points, respectively.
