Stocks return from slump

Star Business Report
After a two-day slump. Dhaka stocks bounced back yesterday after the market regulator's warning that it would not support any attempt to "destabilise" the market with forced sell-offs.
According to market insiders. the merchant banks, which had earlier pressed their clients into sell-offs to adjust loans, shied away from forced selling. Rather, some of them have announced a plan to increase tire margin loan ratio to 1:1 today.
The margin loan is the credit provided by merchant banks against securities held by investors.
