Stocks manage modest gain

Stocks on Sunday managed a modest gain in the week’s opening session as buyers turned back to take positions in the December-closing stocks amid expectations of favorable corporate earnings.

The earnings helped offset lingering concerns over market momentum amid uncertainties surrounding ceasefire negotiations in the Middle East conflict, reports BSS.

DSEX, the broad index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange edged up 13.7 points to settle at 5,271 points as against 5,258 points in the previous trading session.
