Stocks face downtrend

Star Business Report
Dhaka stocks fell last week amid selling pressure, especially from retail investors.
Market operators on Sunday, the opening day of last week, said the retail investors were a bit psychologically nervous over the recent global financial turmoil that prompted them to sell their shares.
But after an assurance froth regulators that the global crisis would not impact die local capital market, the market bounced back on Monday.
The market, however, witnessed a downward trend as a whole.
Many operators attributed such a trend, also Sunday's huge decline in price indices, to the sellers' profit-taking move.
On the week-on-week basis, the benchmark DSE General Index shed 18.02 points, or0.61 percent to 2919 points. The DSE All Share Price Index declined 17.76 points, or 0.73 percent to 2417.69 points on Thursday, the last trading day of the week.
Total turnover however rose 38.72 percent amid increased investors' participation in trading on the Dhaka Stock Exchange. The total turnover on the premier bourse was Tk 2,725.06 crore against the previous week's Tk 1,964.49 crore, while daily average turnover was Tk 545.01 crore against Tk 491.12 crore a week earlier.
Single-day turnover hit an all-time high ofTk 590 crore on Sunday.
Total share transactions increased 28.05 percent to 18,59,52,537 shares last week against 14,52,19,957 shares the week before.
Most securities traded down throughout the week. Of the issues traded on the DSE, 93 scrips advanced, 155 declined and 13 ended unchanged.
Total market capitalisation came down to Tk 1,01,626.68 crore from the previous week's Tk 1,02,179.66 crore, a 0.54 percent decline.
Share prices of Summit Alliance Port, which made its debut on Thursday, rocketed by more than 779 percent, as the retail investors rushed to
purchase stakes in the off-dock service provider.
Analysts said such desperate buying spree has once again underlined the need for a functional price discovery mechanism in the primary market.
Each Summit Alliance Port share opened at Tk 600 on the DSE and rose as high as Tk 1,074 before closing at Tk 879.25. On the Chittagong Stock Exchange, starting with Tk 749, each Summit Alliance Port share went as high as Tk 1,030 before closing at Tk875.
The analysts said the introduction of a modern pricingmechanism like 'book building' is needed to avert any distortion in the pricing system.
Beximco Pharma topped the turnover leaders on the DSE last week. A total of 1,69,45,250 shares of Beximco Pharma worth Tk 281.73 crore traded on the DSE.
