Exciting updates are on the way from the stock markets in Bangladesh, including the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE)! The month of June has ended on a very high note, with both markets seeing their biggest daily trading amounts of the month. This shows a growing interest and confidence among investors, which is a very positive sign for our countryโs economy. Itโs like a bustling marketplace where more and more people are actively participating, leading to good things. On Thursday, June 26, 2025, the DSE saw a turnover, which is the total value of shares bought and sold, of Tk 478 crore. This was the highest amount for a single day in June. The CSE also had a great day, with its turnover going over Tk 60 crore, also a record for the month. These high numbers mean that more shares were traded, indicating a lively and active market. When many people are trading, it usually means they are feeling positive about the future of the companies listed on the stock exchange. Along with the high trading activity, the main indicators of the marketโs health, called indices, also went up significantly. The DSEโs main index, DSEX, jumped by 65 points, showing a strong increase in the overall value of the shares.Other significant indices, such as the DSES that follows Shariah principles and the DS30, which monitors the largest and most stable firms, also experienced strong growth. This means that not just a few companies, but a wide range of companies, saw their share prices increase. Looking at the details, out of almost 400 companies whose shares were traded on the DSE, nearly 300 of them actually gained in value. This is a very broad improvement, suggesting that the positive mood is widespread across many different industries. Similarly, on the CSE, out of more than 200 companies, around 160 of them saw their prices go up. This shows a general upward trend and a good environment for many businesses. Some companies performed exceptionally well, becoming what are called “top gainers.” For example, Dragon Sweater and Spinning on the DSE and JMI Syringes and Medical Devices on the CSE saw significant increases in their share prices. While some companies did see their shares decline, the overall picture was overwhelmingly positive, with many more companies gaining than losing. This notable rise in turnover and indices in June is a hopeful indicator for Bangladesh’s financial landscape. It reflects a renewed confidence among investors and highlights the potential for growth in various sectors of our economy. A strong and active stock market can help companies raise money for their plans, which in turn leads to more jobs and economic development. Itโs a clear sign that Bangladesh is making steady progress towards a stronger and more vibrant financial future.
