Stock markets experience another turbulent week

By Rafiq Hasan
Another turbulent period swayed the country's two stock markets last week as their major indicators continued to plunge throughout the week except Thursday, the closing day
Though the week ended on a positive note but all major market indicators of both Dhaka and Chittagong stock exchanges suffered due to bearish mood since the beginning.
The DSE All Share Price Index plunged to 1157.60 points from previous week's 1273.85 points registering a total fall of 116.25 points over the week.
The market capitalisations of the bourse lost more than Taka 890 crore closing at Taka 8991.73 from Taka 9882 crore previous week.
During the four-day business. on an average 77 issues suffered while 37 gained and two remained unchanged ev-
eryday.
Trading at Dhaka and Chit tagong stock exchanges could not be held on Sunday due to half day hartal called by the main opposition political party BNP while the bourse remained closed on Wednesday due to government holiday.
A total of 9.29 lakh shares and debentures valued at more than Taka 21.67 crore changed hands during the week at DSE floor. The average turnovers in volume and value were 2.32 lakh and Taka 5.42 crore respectively.
The Chittagong Stock Exchange. country's second bourse, also suffered during the week as its indices went down much lower than the previous week’s position.
The CSE All Securities Price Index fell to 520.05 points from 581.97 points and its market
capitalisation went down to Taka 7317.29 crore from Taka 8050.69. registering a total loss of 61.92 points and Taka 733.40 crore respectively.
As the market was going down from the beginning of the week, the kerb market operators started a movement protesting the slide in share prices and demanding government initiatives to Improve the overall condition of the capital market.
They staged demonstrations in front of the DSE building and Motijheel area almost everyday during the week. The kerb market men paraded different city streets with big procession and held a number of rallies. They demanded resignation of Finance Minister SAMS Kibria for what they called his failure in handling the capital market situation.
However, the DSE market operators said the market situation may improve and it is likely that a mixed trend would dominate the floor in the coming weeks.
They ruled out the possibility of further crash in the share prices as the market had already been corrected.
Talking to The Daily Star, a leader of the Bangladesh Small Investors Federation (BSIFj. a platform of kerb market operators. said that they would call off their scheduled action programme next Sunday if the market improves.
The association had threatened earlier from a rally that they would force the closure of share trading and stage a continuous sit-in programme in front of the DSE building from Sunday.
