Bangladesh’s stock market saw a sharp rebound on Wednesday following a dramatic turn in the Middle East conflict. US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire amid threats against Iran, easing global tension and triggering optimism among investors. The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) responded strongly, with its main index, DSEX, rising by 161 points or 3.12 percent. Trading volume also surged by about 66 percent to Tk 991.59 crore, marking the highest turnover in one and a half months.
Former DSE Brokers Association president Ahmed Rashid Lali told Amader Desh that the ceasefire announcement had a positive impact on the market, as investors hoped it could lead to a lasting resolution. He also noted that despite a new government taking office, the lack of clarity regarding potential changes in the regulatory commission had created uncertainty among investors.
Market data showed that the DSEX climbed from 5,156 to nearly 5,318 points, while the DSE Shariah and DSE-30 indices rose by 2.88 percent and 2.77 percent respectively. Prices increased for 367 listed issues, fell for 15, and remained unchanged for 11.
