Among the major sectors, telecom, food, bank, energy, textile, non-bank financial institutions, engineering and non-life insurance decreased yesterday, while pharmaceuticals, cement and life insurance increased.
National Life Insurance led the gainer list with a 4 percent rise in its share price, followed by Titas Gas, IPDC Finance, Bank Asia and Square Pharma.
Grameenphone was the major loser with a 4.7 percent fall in its price, mainly due to adjustment of cash dividend. Coppertech Industries, which earlier was denied listing by the DSE due to alleged irregularities in its financial statements, was the most talked-about item yesterday.
The Chittagong Stock Exchange on May 23 approved the company’s listing.
