DHAKA, June 7, 2026 (BSS) - Stocks today extended winning streak to a 10th 
consecutive session as investor confidence strengthened on growing 
expectations of regulatory reforms under the newly-appointed leadership of 
the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC).

Market participants continued broad-based accumulation amid expectations of 
easing regulations related to initial public offerings (IPOs) and margin 
lending, which helped sustain positive momentum across the market.

The DSEX, the broad index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), advanced by 41.2 
points to close at 5,516 points, up from 5,475 points in the previous trading 
session.

Trading remained buoyant during the first half of the session on the back of 
sustained buying interest. However, some late-session profit-taking trimmed 
gains as investors booked profits following the recent rally.

Despite the late selling pressure, turnover surpassed the Taka 15 billion 
mark for the first time in nearly two years.

Total turnover rose by 13.1 percent to Taka 15.3 billion, compared with Taka 
13.5 billion in the previous session.

Among sectors, General Insurance accounted for the highest share of turnover 
at 16.6 percent, followed by Engineering at 14.4 percent and Pharmaceuticals 
at 11.5 percent.

Sectoral performance remained mixed. General Insurance posted the highest 
gain of 3.2 percent, followed by Food at 3.0 percent and Cement at 2.4 
percent. On the downside, Jute declined by 2.2 percent, Paper by 1.8 percent 
and Services by 1.4 percent.

Out of the 396 issues traded on the DSE, 180 advanced, 156 declined and 60 
remained unchanged.

The Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) also finished in positive territory. The 
Selective Categories' Index (CSCX) gained 83.5 points, while the All Share 
Price Index (CASPI) rose by 131.4 points at the close of trading.
