Only 6 stocks avert the morning sell-off
Stocks opened lower on Thursday to stretch their bearish swings in the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE).
Only six scrips could manage to stay afloat amid the sell-off across sectors.
Downturn keeps eroding investors' confidence and there is a rush to exit some of the positions in stocks, said shock brokers.
DSEX, the broad-based index of the premier bourse, fell to 6,205 points which was 0.21% lower than the previous close.
As of 10:50am, 137 of the DSE scrips declined.
