Stocks move past 9th bearish week

Star Business Report
A bearish trend on the Dhaka Stock Exchange continued last week, as investors were yet to regain confidence from nine weeks of a slump.
On the week on-week basis, the benchmark DSE General Index went down 56.94 points, or 2.08 percent, to 2675.07 points, while the DSE All Share Price Index dropped 49.65 points, or 2.12 percent, to 2295.95 points on Thursday, the last trading day.
According to market analysts, the market was failing to recover from die long bearish spell that prompted investors, especially retailers, to remain mostly inactive.
"Investors fear dial die downtrend may prolong further. The investors are selling their stocks in hands even with losses as they feared the worse in future,” said a market analyst.
Some good half-yearly corporate news failed to lift investors from the shock, the analyst added.
Last week, total turnover on
the premier bourse slipped to Tk 1,091.49 crore, down 16.53 percent from the previous week's Tk 1,307.59 crore. Daily average turnover wasTk 218.29 crore against Tk 261.51 crore of the week-earlier-period -- a 16.53 percent fall.
