Market Commentary | 29 September 2026

The market remained slightly negative on Tuesday, with the benchmark DSEX Index declining 1.49 points (-0.03%) to 5,524.37, compared with the previous session’s 0.12% decline. The broader indices also remained under pressure, with the DS30 falling 0.16% to 2,094.68, while the DSES declined 0.19% to 1,098.04. However, trading activity moderated from the previous session, with total turnover falling to BDT 634.52 crore from BDT 746.47 crore, while traded volume declined to 208.39 million shares and the number of trades decreased to 172,615.

Market breadth showed some improvement, although it remained negative overall. 142 issues advanced against 178 declining stocks, compared with 125 gainers and 224 decliners in the previous session. Meanwhile, 75 issues remained unchanged, up from 45 previously. The narrower gap between advancing and declining stocks indicates that selling pressure eased somewhat, despite the market continuing to close lower.

At the index-impact level, DULAMIACOT, SIPLC, BERGERPBL, and SHYAMPSUG provided the strongest positive support, contributing 2.07, 1.54, 1.49, and 0.81 points, respectively. On the negative side, ORIONINFU was the largest drag with an index impact of -2.17, followed by LIBRAINFU (-1.44), RECKITTBEN (-1.23), and AMBEEPHA (-1.23).

Among individual performers, MIDASFIN, SAIHAMCOT, PREMIERCEM, and SIPLC were the leading gainers, rising 8.70%, 7.62%, 6.17%, and 6.09%, respectively. On the downside, HFL recorded the largest decline at -6.72%, followed by PFLSL (-5.88%), PREMIERLEA (-5.00%), and VAMLRBBF (-4.65%).

Trading remained concentrated in selected counters, with SAIHAMTEX leading turnover at BDT 337.10 million, followed by IPDC at BDT 216.79 million and SAIHAMCOT at BDT 185.04 million. PTL and ORIONINFU also featured among the top-traded stocks. In the block market, BRACBANK recorded the highest transaction value at BDT 96.90 million, followed by DHAKABANK at BDT 85.60 million, while JAMUNABANK, IPDC, and GREENDEL also recorded notable block transactions.

Overall, the market remained in negative territory, but the pace of decline moderated compared with the previous session. The DSEX slipped only 0.03%, while the improvement in market breadth—from 125 advances vs. 224 declines to 142 advances vs. 178 declines—suggests that the selling pressure became less widespread. At the same time, turnover, volume, and trade count all declined, indicating lower overall market activity. The session therefore reflected mild index-level weakness, improving breadth, and reduced trading participation.

28/09/2026

Market Commentary | 28 September 2026

The market remained under selling pressure on Monday, with the benchmark DSEX Index declining 6.60 points (-0.12%) to 5,525.86. The other major indices also closed lower, with the DS30 falling 0.06% to 2,097.94 and the DSES declining 0.28% to 1,100.18. Trading activity remained substantial, with total turnover reaching BDT 746.47 crore, while traded volume stood at 234.77 million shares across 195,699 trades.

Market breadth remained negative, as 224 issues declined against 125 advancing stocks, while 45 remained unchanged. This indicates that although the benchmark's decline was relatively modest, selling pressure was broader across the market.

At the index-impact level, APEXSPINN, KAY&QUE, RECKITTBEN, and MARICO provided positive support, contributing 4.10, 3.22, 2.20, and 0.86 points, respectively. On the negative side, EASTRN LUB was the largest drag with an index impact of -4.72, followed by GQBALLPEN (-2.72), FINEFOODS (-1.98), and SAMORITA (-0.71).

Among individual performers, CLICL, SAIHAMTEX, APEXSPINN, and ETL were the leading gainers, rising 7.29%, 7.28%, 6.87%, and 6.16%, respectively. Meanwhile, 1STPRIMFMF recorded the largest decline at -8.74%, followed by LRGLOBMF1 (-6.25%), BDTHAIFOOD (-5.97%), and PHOENIXFIN (-5.88%).

Trading remained concentrated in a handful of stocks. APEXSPINN led the turnover table with BDT 452.96 million, followed by SAIHAMTEX at BDT 397.26 million. MERCINS, IPDC, and ENVOYTEX also featured among the most actively traded counters. In the block market, SHAHJABANK recorded the highest transaction value at BDT 100.96 million, followed by SOURPHARMA at BDT 72.45 million, while CITYGENINS, SAIHAMTEX, and BRACBANK also recorded notable block transactions.

Overall, the market continued to exhibit a cautious tone, with the DSEX edging lower despite relatively strong trading activity. The 224-to-125 decline-to-advance ratio points to continued weakness in market breadth, while the concentration of turnover in APEXSPINN and SAIHAMTEX highlights strong activity in selected counters. The session therefore reflected moderate index-level weakness alongside broader stock-level selling pressure.

24/09/2026

Market Commentary | 24 September 2026

The market retreated modestly, with the benchmark DSEX Index declining 17.88 points (-0.32%) to 5,578.33. The other major indices also moved lower, with the DS30 falling 0.50% to 2,112.13 and the DSES declining 0.31% to 1,115.89. This marked a reversal from the previous session’s broad-based advance, although the decline in the benchmark remained relatively limited.

Trading activity moderated from the elevated levels seen in the latest available session. Total turnover declined to BDT 756.32 crore, down around 10.5%, while total traded volume fell approximately 11.1% to 238.27 million shares. The number of trades also decreased by about 6.9% to 202,860. Despite the reduction, overall market activity remained substantial, with turnover still above BDT 750 crore.

Market breadth weakened noticeably, with 155 advancing issues against 185 declining stocks, while 48 remained unchanged. Although the difference between gainers and decliners was relatively narrow, the balance shifted toward declining stocks compared with the previous session, indicating that the market’s earlier broad-based buying momentum had eased.

At the index-impact level, SIPLC, GQBALLPEN, BNICL, and DULAMIACOT provided the strongest positive support. On the negative side, ORIONINFU, APEXSPINN, MONNOAGML, and AMBEEPHA were the major drags. The relatively balanced contributions on both sides helped keep the overall index decline moderate despite the broader weakness.

Among individual performers, CNATEX was the leading gainer with a 10% rise, followed by SIPLC (+9.97%), ORIONPHARM (+9.82%), and TUNGHAI (+7.69%). Meanwhile, SAIHAMTEX (-6.68%), PLFSL (-5.56%), KBPPWBIL (-4.53%), and PREMIERCEM (-4.28%) recorded the largest declines.

Trading remained concentrated among several active counters. IPDC led turnover at BDT 236.13 million, followed by GQBALLPEN at BDT 212.11 million and SQUARPHARMA at BDT 189.15 million. ENVOYTEX and SHARPIND also featured among the top turnover stocks. In the block market, FINEFOODS recorded the largest transaction at BDT 174.60 million, followed by GQBALLPEN at BDT 124.11 million, while MARICO, CITYGENINS, and BRACBANK also recorded notable block trades.

Overall, the latest session reflects a moderate consolidation following the previous session’s strong recovery. DSEX declined 0.32%, while market breadth shifted to 155 gainers versus 185 decliners, and turnover, volume, and trade count all moderated. Nevertheless, the relatively small index decline and continued high trading activity suggest that the market remained active but more selective, with buying momentum losing some strength and investors reassessing positions across individual counters.

23/09/2026

Market Commentary | 23 September 2026

The market staged a strong rebound, with the benchmark DSEX Index rising 55.89 points (+1.00%) to 5,596.21. The broader indices also advanced, with the DS30 increasing 0.96% to 2,122.72 and the DSES gaining 0.78% to 1,119.32. This marked a clear improvement in overall market direction, following the modest weakness seen in the latest available session.

Trading activity remained high and strengthened further in terms of turnover and trade count. Total turnover increased to BDT 844.70 crore, up around 6.7%, while the number of trades rose by approximately 8.0% to 217,984. However, total traded volume declined around 7.5% to 267.99 million shares. The rise in turnover despite lower volume suggests that trading was relatively more concentrated in higher-value transactions and/or higher-priced securities.

Market breadth showed a substantial improvement. The session recorded 246 advancing issues against 102 declining stocks, with 37 unchanged. Compared with the latest available report, the number of advancing stocks more than doubled while declining issues fell considerably, indicating that the positive movement was much broader across the market rather than being driven only by a handful of large counters.

At the index-impact level, APEXSPINN, GQBALLPEN, FINEFOODS, and MONNOAGML provided the strongest positive contributions. On the negative side, RECKITTBEN, BATASHOE, SIPLC, and WALTONHIL were the main drags, although their negative impacts were relatively modest compared with the positive contributions from the leading supportive counters.

Among individual performers, ORIONPHARM, UNIQUEHRL, INDEXAGRO, and CLICL were the leading gainers, each advancing close to or above 9.9%. Meanwhile, RELIANCE1, GLDNJMF, ICB3RDNRB, and IFIC1STMF recorded the largest declines. The relatively limited number of major losers compared with the broad advance across the market further reflects the stronger positive breadth during the session.

Trading remained concentrated in several actively traded counters. SQUARPHARMA led turnover at BDT 354.73 million, followed by BXPHARMA at BDT 259.86 million and DOMINAGE at BDT 252.34 million. ORIONINFU and IPDC also featured among the top turnover counters. In the block market, PRIMEBANK recorded the largest transaction at BDT 138.19 million, followed by GQBALLPEN, ALARABANK, MALEKSPIN, and JAMUNABANK.

Overall, the latest session reflects a broad-based recovery in the market. DSEX gained 1.00%, while both DS30 and DSES also advanced, and market breadth improved sharply to 246 gainers versus 102 decliners. At the same time, turnover and trade count increased further, despite a decline in total volume. The combination of stronger index performance, significantly improved breadth, and elevated trading activity points to a notably more positive trading session, with buying interest spreading across a wider range of securities.

22/09/2026

Market Commentary | 22 September 2026

The market remained under selling pressure, with the benchmark DSEX Index declining 10.02 points (-0.18%) to 5,540.32. However, the overall index level remained higher than the latest reported session, indicating that the market has retained part of its earlier recovery. The DS30 Index edged up 0.012% to 2,106.17, while the DSES Index rose 0.14% to 1,108.57, showing mixed performance across the major indices.

Trading activity strengthened significantly. Total turnover increased to BDT 791.49 crore, while traded volume climbed to 289.77 million shares and the number of trades rose to 201,745. Compared with the latest available report, turnover increased by around 57%, volume by nearly 69%, and trade count by over 32%. This indicates substantially higher market participation despite the modest decline in the benchmark index.

Market breadth also showed some improvement, although selling pressure remained dominant. The session recorded 103 advancing issues against 227 declining stocks, with 55 unchanged. While the gap between gainers and decliners narrowed considerably from the previously reported extreme imbalance, declining issues still clearly outnumbered advancing stocks, indicating that the broader market remained under pressure.

At the index-impact level, ORIONINFU, SHYAMPSUG, ZEALBANGLA, and DSHGARME provided the strongest positive support. On the negative side, EASTERNLUB, KAY&QUE, GQBALLPEN, and DULAMIACOT were the major drags. Notably, EASTERNLUB continued to appear among the major index-impact stocks, although its negative contribution was lower than in the previous available report.

Among individual performers, DOMINAGE, ISNLTD, 1STPRIMFMF, and ICBAMCL2ND were the leading gainers, all advancing by more than 9%. Meanwhile, NEWLINE, METROSPIN, TUNGHAI, and MERCANBANK recorded the largest declines. The appearance of 1STPRIMFMF among the leading gainers continues to indicate strength in selected smaller counters despite the broader market weakness.

Trading remained concentrated in a number of active counters. DOMINAGE led turnover with BDT 344.31 million, closely followed by EBL at BDT 341.39 million. SQUARPHARMA, SAIHAMTEX, and ANWARGALV also recorded substantial turnover. In the block market, BRACBANK dominated with transactions worth BDT 175.49 million, followed by SQUARPHARMA at BDT 148.61 million, while RENAATA, SAIHAMTEX, and TRUSTBANK also featured prominently.

Overall, the latest session reflects a mixed market picture: the DSEX slipped marginally and declining issues continued to outnumber gainers, but market liquidity and participation increased sharply, while the DS30 and DSES remained positive. The combination of higher turnover, stronger volume, and improved—but still negative—market breadth suggests that activity has intensified, with investors remaining selective amid continued selling pressure.

15/09/2026

Market Commentary | 15 Sep 2026

The market showed a strong recovery from the recent selling pressure, with the benchmark DSEX Index rising to 5,472.46, an increase of 53.91 points (+0.99%) from the previous available report. The recovery was broad across the major indices, with the DS30 increasing by 0.76% to 2,087.70 and the DSES advancing by 0.75% to 1,093.51. However, trading activity moderated, with total turnover declining to BDT 504.87 crore, while traded volume fell to 171.64 million shares and the number of trades decreased to 152,421. This suggests that the market rebound occurred with lower overall trading participation compared with the previous session.

The improvement in market breadth was particularly significant. The market recorded 336 advancing issues against only 21 declining stocks, with 37 remaining unchanged. This represents a sharp reversal in breadth and indicates that the recovery was broad-based rather than driven solely by a handful of large-cap stocks. The strength of the advance is further supported by the fact that the leading losers declined by only around 2.86%, considerably less severe than the heavy losses seen previously.

At the index-impact level, KAY&QUE, PHARMAID, MARICO, and ORIONINFU were the leading positive contributors, with KAY&QUE providing the strongest support. On the negative side, ALARABANK, ISLAMIBANK, MEGHNACEM, and STANCERAM exerted only marginal downward pressure, with their individual index impacts remaining very limited. This balance indicates that positive contributions significantly outweighed negative impacts during the session.

Among individual performers, YPL, AL-HAJTEX, ORIONINFU, and SAMORITA were the strongest gainers, each advancing by more than 9%. Meanwhile, PHPMF1 and POPULAR1MF recorded the largest declines at 2.86%, followed by ZAHINTEX and SHURWID. The relatively modest losses among the top decliners further reinforce the improvement in overall market sentiment.

Trading activity remained concentrated in several actively traded counters. IPDC led turnover at BDT 194.63 million, closely followed by RELIANCINS at BDT 192.57 million, while EBL, SHARPIND, and ENVOYTEX also recorded notable turnover. In the block market, SQUIPRPHARMA recorded the highest transaction at BDT 53.68 million, followed by RENATA at BDT 44.59 million and CITYGENINS at BDT 20.00 million.

Overall, market sentiment improved substantially, with the sharp decline in breadth weakness reversing into a strong advance. The DSEX recovered by nearly 1% between the reports, while the advance-decline ratio shifted dramatically in favor of gainers. Although turnover, volume, and trade count declined, the combination of broad-based gains, limited downside among losers, and positive index contributions suggests that buying interest returned and the market regained some stability after the recent correction. The key consideration going forward will be whether this recovery can be sustained with stronger trading participation and turnover.

13/09/2026

Market Commentary | 13 September 2026

The market came under significantly stronger selling pressure on Sunday, with the benchmark DSEX Index falling 96.61 points (-1.75%) to 5,418.55. The decline was broad across the major indices, with the DS30 dropping 1.11% to 2,072.01 and the DSES falling 1.77% to 1,085.39. Despite the sharp index correction, trading activity increased, with total turnover rising to BDT 571.32 crore, while traded volume increased to 236.46 million shares and the number of trades climbed to 182,186. This indicates that the heavier decline was accompanied by stronger market participation and selling activity.

The deterioration in market breadth was particularly pronounced. Only 27 issues advanced, compared with 336 declining stocks, while 21 remained unchanged. The sharp imbalance between gainers and losers signals that the session was characterized by broad-based selling rather than weakness concentrated in a few large-cap stocks.

At the index-impact level, RELIANCEINS, BNICL, SIPLC, and STANCERAM provided some support, although their positive contributions were relatively limited. On the negative side, EASTERNLUB, AMBEEPHA, MARICO, and ORIONINFU were the major drags, with EASTERNLUB recording by far the largest negative impact. Among individual performers, 1STPRIMFMF, EBL1STMF, RELIANCEINS, and NCCBLMF1 posted the strongest gains, while ORIONINFU, LRBDL, SHARPIND, and ARAMIT suffered the steepest declines.

Trading activity remained concentrated in several actively traded counters. ENVOYTEX led turnover at BDT 292.66 million, followed by SHARPIND at BDT 191.12 million, while PTL, SAIHAMTEX, and MALEKSPIN also recorded substantial trading. In the block market, NCCBANK recorded the highest transaction at BDT 21.75 million, followed by SAMORITA, ASIATICLAB, BNICL, and ENVOYTEX.

Overall, the market shifted from cautious weakness to a much sharper correction, with DSEX losing 1.75% and market breadth deteriorating dramatically. At the same time, the rise in turnover, volume, and number of trades suggests that selling activity intensified rather than simply reflecting a lack of participation. With only 27 advancing issues against 336 decliners, investor sentiment appears notably weaker, and the market’s ability to stabilize around the 5,400 level will be important in determining whether the current correction deepens further or begins to find buying support.

10/09/2026

Market Commentary | 10 September 2026

The market’s weakness intensified on Thursday, with the benchmark DSEX Index declining 22.71 points (-0.41%) to 5,515.16. The correction was broader across the major indices, as the DS30 fell 0.37% to 2,095.31 and the DSES declined 0.52% to 1,105.05. Despite the sharper index decline, overall trading activity improved, with total turnover rising to BDT 544.43 crore, while traded volume increased to 217.64 million shares and the number of trades climbed to 156,869. This indicates higher market activity even as selling pressure strengthened.

The most notable deterioration was in market breadth. Advancing issues dropped to 103, while declining stocks increased to 230, with 54 issues remaining unchanged. The resulting advance-decline imbalance indicates that the decline was not limited to a few heavyweight stocks but was accompanied by broader selling pressure across the market.

At the index-impact level, EASTERNLUB, RECKITTBEN, SIPLC, and SHYAMPSUG provided the strongest support, with EASTERNLUB making the largest positive contribution. On the negative side, DSHGARME, ORIONINFU, RELIANCEINS, and KAY&QUE were the major drags. Among individual performers, CAPMBDLBMF, PF1STMF, EXIM1STMF, and SIPLC recorded the strongest gains, while PROGRESLIF, METROSPIN, DSHGARME, and FIRSTFIN posted the steepest declines.

Trading remained concentrated in several active counters. ENVOYTEX led the turnover chart with BDT 201.75 million, followed by SHARPIND at BDT 191.33 million. EXIM1STMF, PTL, and SAIHAMTEX also featured among the most actively traded stocks. In the block market, IPDC recorded the highest transaction at BDT 77.86 million, followed by PUBALIBANK at BDT 74.80 million and BNICL at BDT 54.24 million.

Overall, the market entered a more defensive phase, with the decline becoming broader despite an improvement in trading activity. The increase in turnover and volume suggests that participation remained active, but the sharp deterioration in market breadth indicates that selling pressure outweighed buying interest across a larger portion of the market. With DSEX moving closer to the 5,500 level, the market’s near-term direction will depend on whether increased trading activity translates into renewed broad-based buying or continues to reflect distribution and profit-taking.

07/09/2026

Market Commentary | 07 September 2026

The market showed signs of a modest recovery on Monday as buying interest returned across a broader set of stocks following the recent weakness. Total turnover increased 4.78% to BDT 571.32 crore, from BDT 545.28 crore in the previous session. However, traded volume declined 1.95% to 200.35 million shares, while the number of trades rose 4.41% to 185,987. The combination of higher turnover and fewer shares traded suggests somewhat stronger participation in relatively higher-value transactions.

The benchmark DSEX Index edged up 8.98 points (+0.16%) to 5,567.42, recovering a small portion of its recent decline. The DS30 Index slipped 0.11% to 2,113.92, while the DSES Index declined 0.05% to 1,114.80. The mixed performance among the major indices indicates that Monday’s recovery was primarily concentrated in selected large and mid-cap stocks rather than being broad-based across all segments.

A notable improvement was visible in market breadth. Advancing issues increased sharply to 170, compared with only 20 previously, while declining stocks fell to 150 from 348. Unchanged issues also increased to 63. Although decliners still slightly outnumbered gainers, the sharp improvement in breadth indicates that selling pressure eased considerably and participation on the buying side strengthened.

At the index-impact level, GQBALLPEN, DOMINAGE, ENVOYTEX, and FINEFOODS provided the strongest positive support. On the negative side, EASTERNLUB, RECKITTBEN, SIPLC, and MARICO were the major drags on the indices. Among individual performers, TUNGHAI, SAIHAMCOT, PREMIERLEA, and SEAPEARL recorded notable gains, while SIPLC, CAPMIBBLMF, PRIMETEX, and CVOPRL were among the steepest decliners.

Trading activity remained concentrated in a handful of stocks. SHARPIND led turnover with BDT 282.76 million, followed by SAIHAM COT, ENVOYTEX, MALEKSPIN, and BXPHARMA. In the block market, MERCGINS recorded the highest transaction value at BDT 33.60 million, followed by SAIHAMTEX, MARICO, ACMEL, and DAFOODILCOM.

Overall, 07 September marked a tentative stabilization in the market, with DSEX posting a modest gain and market breadth improving substantially from the heavily defensive conditions seen recently. The rise in turnover and number of trades also points to renewed participation, although the decline in DS30 and DSES suggests that the recovery remains uneven. If the improvement in breadth and buying participation continues, it could provide a foundation for a broader recovery; otherwise, the market may remain in a volatile and selective trading phase.

06/09/2026

Market Commentary | 06 September 2026

The market came under significant selling pressure, with the recent recovery giving way to a broad-based decline. Total turnover fell 24.36% to BDT 545.28 crore, while traded volume declined 12.99% to 204.34 million shares. The number of trades also dropped 9.91% to 178,150, pointing to a clear reduction in overall market participation and liquidity.

The benchmark DSEX Index fell 103.65 points (-1.83%) to 5,558.44, marking a substantial deterioration in market sentiment. The decline was broad across the major indices, with the DS30 falling 1.14% to 2,116.19 and the DSES dropping 1.99% to 1,115.36. The sharper decline in DSES suggests particularly strong pressure on the market’s Shariah-compliant segment.

The most striking weakness came from market breadth. Advancing issues plunged to just 20, compared with 127 previously, while declining stocks surged to 348 from 226. Unchanged issues also fell to 21. This means declining stocks outnumbered gainers by more than 17 to 1, indicating that the selling pressure was not confined to a few stocks but spread across the broader market.

At the index-impact level, EASTERNLUB, AMBEEPHA, RECKITTBEN, and ENVOYTEX provided positive support. However, the positive contribution was heavily outweighed by the negative impact of GQBALLPEN, FINEFOODS, APEXSPINN, and ORIONINFU. EASTERNLUB remained the strongest positive contributor with an index impact of 17, but this was insufficient to offset the substantial negative contributions from several other constituents.

Among individual performers, MBLISTMF, EASTERNLUB, EXIM1STMF, and AIBL1STMF were the leading gainers. On the other hand, AAMRANET, SONARGAON, DOMINAGE, and SAIHAMTEX recorded the steepest declines, with each falling close to or above 9.8%.

Trading activity also became more concentrated. SHARPIND, MALEKSPIN, PTL, SAIHAMTEX, and SAIHAMCOT dominated turnover, while SAIHAMTEX, ASIATICLAB, CITYGENINS, ACMEL, and SHARPIND led block-market transactions. Interestingly, the combined value of the five largest block trades increased despite the sharp decline in overall turnover, suggesting that larger negotiated transactions remained active even as regular market participation weakened.

Overall, 06 September marked a clear deterioration in market sentiment, characterized by a sharp decline in the major indices, a dramatic worsening of market breadth, and lower turnover and trading activity. The fact that only 20 stocks advanced against 348 decliners points to broad-based selling rather than a selective correction. With the DSEX falling below the 5,600 level, a recovery in market breadth and trading participation will be critical for stabilizing sentiment and preventing further downside pressure in the near term.
