Cross-Market Conclusion
DSE turnover was little changed versus the 21 September session (+0.35%), while traded volume eased slightly (-1.74%) and the DSEX slipped a further -0.18%, extending the -0.75% decline recorded on 21 September itself. Market breadth remained negative for a second consecutive session (103 advances vs. 227 declines on 22 September) but improved modestly from 21 September's weaker reading (100 advances vs. 254 declines), with the advance/decline ratio rising from 0.39 to 0.45. This points to a continuation of a soft, breadth-negative market rather than either a sharp deterioration or a reversal.
CSE activity, based on the supplied tick data, was far smaller in scale than DSE, turnover equivalent to roughly 2.43% of DSE's turnover and about 46.91% of the number of DSE traded scrips, consistent with CSE's customarily thinner liquidity relative to DSE. In the absence of an official CSE index and breadth data, no conclusion is drawn on CSE market direction; only relative trading intensity can be assessed from the data supplied. Overall, DSE participation was broad in scrip coverage (385 scrips traded) but breadth-negative in direction, while CSE trading activity remained highly concentrated in a small number of names (see Section 10) and represented a modest share of combined DSE+CSE turnover.
