DSE turnover hits two-month high

Star Business Report
Turnover on the Dhaka Stock Exchange hit a two-month high yesterday with stocks ending in the black for the fourth consecutive session.

The premier bourse's turnover was Tk 1,002.33 crore on June 1.
DSEX, the benchmark index of the DSE, rose 9.26 points or 0.19 percent, before closing the day at 4,871.81 points.
The market showed significant movement at the start of trade as the positive momentum was continued from the previous day,
LankaBangla Securities said in an analysis.
However, the stockbroker said the market came under pressure in the last hour of trade, leading the index to close almost flat in the positive territory. “Investors came to book profits on stocks that moved significantly in previous sessions," it said.
