Grameenphone rumour lifts bourse

Star Business Report
Grameenphone led yesterday's rally on the premier bourse, as stocks soared 1.5 percent for a second day of strong gains.
The benchmark index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange — DSE General Index -- jumped 94 points to 6,436.
Grameenphone, the sole constituent in the telecom sector, rose nearly 50 points based in part on a rumour.
Stockbrokers said the mobile carrier's share price has risen in the last few days on rumours that Grameenphone would again trade on the public, or normal, market, instead of the spot market. However, the market regulator is yet to decide
where it will trade in future.
"The rumour influenced Grameenphone's share prices today [and yesterday] too. Each Grameenphone share jumped by more than 5 percent on the trading floor," said a stockbroker.
Banks and non-banking financial institutions, and fuel and power also buoyed the market.
Rising stocks outnumbered losers 182 to 63, while six securities remained unchanged.

Gainers beat losers 140 to 48 with five scripts remaining unchanged on the port city bourse. CSE Selective Categories Index gained 265 points, or 2.2 percent, to 12,448.
