1.3 Cross-Market Conclusion
Direction. DSEX gained 26.07 points (+0.47%) to 5,550.44, its first rise after four lower closes. The session broke the recent pattern: the intraday low (5,539.15) held above the previous close, the intraday high (5,562.76) exceeded the 28 and 29 September highs (the first higher high since 24 September), and the index did not close at its low. DS30 (+0.66%) outperformed, and DSES rose 0.41%. On the CSE, CASPI rose 0.28%. Sentiment gauges read 49 ("Neutral") for the DSE, up from 35, and 48 ("Neutral") for the CSE, up from 39.
Liquidity and intensity. DSE turnover rose +10.18% to Tk 6,991.18 mn, with normal-board turnover up 13.19% and block turnover down 17.75%.
