All indexes of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) fell for the fourth consecutive day today, driven by a decline in most of the companies
The drop might come apparently from the expected increase in the cost of doing business for the listed firms following the fresh hike of gas and electricity prices last week, intensifying pressure on their bottom lines.
The DSES, which represents Shariah-compliant companies listed on the premier bourse in the country, lost 0.73 percent to 1,349 while the DS30, which makes the blue-chip firms, was down 0.61 percent to 2,113.
