Stocks jump for second consecutive day

Bangladesh’s stock market indices rose for the second consecutive day following Sheikh Hasina’s government’s fall. The DSE’s main index, DSEX, increased by 1.2%, while blue-chip and shariah-based indices also saw gains. Despite more stocks declining than rising, large-cap companies drove the overall market up. The Chittagong Stock Exchange’s Caspi index similarly increased by 1.5%. This upward trend occurred despite political changes in the country. Daily Star
