DSE key index jumps 105 pts

Star Business Report
The benchmark index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) yesterday jumped by more than 105 points, or 3.8 percent, the largest single day gain since November 26 last year.
Along with the general index, which closed at 2878.08 points, the DSE All Share Price Index also shot up by 75.23 points, or 3.11 percent, to close at 2491.93 points.
Market insiders said the rise makes it evident that the market is recovering from the recent continual slide.
The market insiders also said the regulator's move to review the current market situation with the market stakeholders including stock exchanges, merchant bankers and leading brokerage houses was a positive step.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) yesterday met with the authorities of Dhaka and Chittagong stock exchanges, merchant bankers and leading brokerage houses.
At the meeting, presided over by SEC Chairman Faruq Ahmad Siddiqi, all the stakeholders reiterated that the recent slide was due to price correction and it is a normal phenomenon in any stock
market, sources said.
The sources said the SEC at the meeting also asked the merchant bankers and brokerage houses to organise awareness programmes in every month for their clients or investors.
The market insiders said Grameenphone's plan to raise US$ 300 million (Tk 2,058 crore) through the stock market and private placement was encouraging news for the investors. Grameenphone, the country's largest mobile phone operator, took the decision after revising its valuation at $ 3.2 billion last month.
The company on Wednesday said a formal initial public offering (IPO) prospectus to raise $150 million from the stock market would be submitted to the SEC by the end of this month. The rest $ 150 million will be raised through private placement or pre-IPO.
The market insiders also said many of the share prices came down to a reasonable level following the recent price correction. The lower prices attracted many investors to take possession of securities that pushed the share prices up yesterday, they added.
Of the issues traded, 204 advanced and 22 declined with
five unchanged. A total of 2,36,73,138 shares worth Tk 342.60 crore were traded at the premier bourse.
Alike the premier bourse, the indices on the Chittagong Stock Exchange also shot up yesterday with the CSE Selective Categories Index went up by 206.59 points, or 3.76 percent, to 5692.33 points, while the CSE All Share Price Index shot up by 287.76 points, or 3.36 percent, to 8836.74 points.
A total of 57,75,474 shares worth Tk 51.60 crore changed hands at the port city bourse. Of the issues traded, 115 advanced, 15 declined and five remained unchanged.
Meanwhile, only 10 Rupali Bank shares with a price of Tk 2686.50 were traded on the
DSE yesterday, four days after the trade in the bank's share had resumed.
Although the trading of Rupali Bank shares had resumed on July 20, no share was traded since the resumption day due mainly to circuit breaker system that puts a price floor on the sale of a share.
Share trading of the staterun bank remained suspended since November last year to check the unusual price fluctuation. Prior to suspension, the bank's share price was nose-diving or skyrocketing now and then on confusing news on the bank's scheduled sell-off, which was cancelled by the government in March this year.
