The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) has closed higher after a day of fluctuations, as late buying helped the market finish in the green.
The benchmark index, DSEX, opened strong, building on Sunday’s close of 4,677.60.
It rose 32 points in the first two hours to reach 4,709.
The index pulled back slightly due to selling but remained positive.
A final rally pushed it to 4,695, ending the session with a gain of over 17 points.
The session followed a fresh directive issued by the DSE to brokerage firms late Sunday.
On Monday morning, traders struggled to access the trading software under the new login protocol.
With independent user IDs blocked, most brokerages faced delays in executing client trades.
Some firms reported disruption across all terminals until around midday.
Despite the glitch, turnover edged up slightly to Tk 2.77 billion from Tk 2.72 billion the previous session.
This marked the fifth gain in seven sessions since the Eid-ul-Azha break.
On Sunday, the DSEX had dropped 76 points--its second-largest single-day fall in the past six weeks.
According to DSE data, out of 401 listed companies, prices rose for 220, fell for 104, and remained unchanged for 77.
Textiles, insurance, and engineering stocks led in trading volume.
In terms of value, food and allied topped the list, contributing Tk 426 million or 16.51 percent of total turnover.
The banking sector followed with Tk 391 million or 15.15 percent, while pharmaceuticals and chemicals accounted for Tk 311 million or 12 percent.
Top gainers based on closing prices were Rahima Food, Desh Garments, and Indo-Bangla Pharmaceuticals.
The biggest losers were Regent Textiles, First Finance, and Renwick Jajneswar.
