Dhaka, July 11, 2025 –
The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) continued its bullish streak for a sixth consecutive session on Thursday, as investor confidence steadily improved amid easing political tensions and macroeconomic stability.
During the six-day rally, the benchmark DSEX index surged by a total of 230 points, reflecting growing investor interest and increased participation across the trading floor.
On the day, the DSEX rose by 33 points to close at 5,068, while the DSE Shariah Index (DSES) added 7 points to end at 1,101. The DS30, which tracks blue-chip stocks, advanced 14 points, settling at 1,909.
Turnover remained strong, increasing by 1.74% to reach Tk 679 crore, compared to Tk 667 crore in the previous session. Out of 397 issues traded, 196 advanced, 128 declined, and 70 remained unchanged.
Investor Sentiment Rebounds
Market insiders attribute the rally to a confluence of positive factors, including reduced political uncertainty ahead of the national election, stabilizing foreign exchange reserves, and steady remittance inflows. Together, these developments have helped shift sentiment in favor of equities.
Declining yields on government securities are also playing a role in drawing investors toward the stock market, as they seek higher returns in an improving economic climate.
“The ongoing rally has reignited investor interest, especially in undervalued stocks with strong fundamentals,” said one brokerage official. “There’s growing optimism around the upcoming financial disclosures, particularly for companies with June-closing fiscal years.”
Bank Merger News & Policy Reforms Boost Confidence
The government’s push to merge weak banks has been seen as a market-friendly reform, sending a positive signal regarding the financial sector’s long-term stability. Investors are also gaining clarity on the broader capital market reform agenda, further improving market sentiment.
Analysts believe that many fundamentally sound stocks remain undervalued, offering buying opportunities for long-term investors. If the current macroeconomic and political stability holds, they expect the upward momentum to continue in the coming sessions.
