1. Executive Summary
DSEX closed at 5,550.50 on 21 September 2026, down 41.71 points (0.75%) from the immediately preceding session. Official DSE headline turnover increased 5.53% to Tk 788.71 crore, transactions rose 9.42% to 220,637, and volume expanded 6.20% to 29.49 crore shares. However, breadth weakened sharply to 100 advances, 254 declines and 32 unchanged issues among 386 traded main-board securities. The session therefore combined stronger liquidity and higher participation with negative price direction and decline-heavy breadth. This is more consistent with active selling pressure and selective rotation than with a broad risk-on move.
