The trading on the bourses will begin at 10:30 am and continue till 2:30 pm while the offices will begin at 9:30 am and continue till 5.30 pm.

 

Trading and official activities on the bourses remained closed from September 1 to September 3 on the occasion of the Eid-ul-Azha, including weekly holidays, the second biggest religious festival of the Muslims.

 

Meanwhile, Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) performed well on August 31, the last trading session before Eid holidays, taking the core index of the prime bourse to record high above 6,000-mark since its inception.

The two other indices -- the DS30 index and the DSE Shariah Index (DSES) – also followed the suit to close at 2,139 and 1,322 points, after advancing 12.14 points and 2.99 points respectively.

 

The total turnover on the DSE stood at Tk 8.53 billion on that day, which was 6.10 per cent higher than the previous day's Tk 8.04 billion.
