DSEX Under Pressure: Why 6,000 Failed - and What the Next Move Depends On
The Dhaka market entered the final week of August with a weaker technical structure than it had only days earlier. The 20 August rebound failed to establish follow-through, and the 23 August session pushed DSEX back to 5,722.21 as breadth deteriorated sharply.

Key market readout DSEX closed at 5,722.21 on 23 August, down 63.87 points or 1.10%. DSE end-of-day turnover was approximately Tk711.15 crore.
