Business Desk:

The premier bourse of the country on Sunday staged a strong rally, reclaiming the 5,000-point psychological threshold after nearly two months.

Driven by broad-based buying, the DSEX jumped 76 points, or 1.53per cent, to settle at 5,035. The last time the premier bourse’s key index closed above this level was on 27 November 2025, when it stood at 5,028.

The blue-chip index, DS30, followed suit, gaining 26 points, or 1.38per cent, to close at 1,939.

Market breadth was overwhelmingly positive, indicating strong bullish sentiment. Out of the companies traded, 290 stocks advanced, 42 declined, and 57 remained unchanged on the DSE floor.

Reflecting the upward surge, the total market capitalisation of the DSE rose by Tk6,000 crore, reaching Tk6.90 lakh crore by the end of the session.
