Since the beginning of this year, the country’s stock market has seen a continuous decline. In this continuous decline, the main stock market Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) index dropped from 6 thousand 242 points to 5 thousand 70 points. The index fell by 1 thousand 172 points.

Then the market started to turn around. On July 09, the DSE index increased by 524 points and settled at 5,594 points. Since then it has fallen again. In the last three days, that decline turned into a disaster. DSE index lost 144 points in these three days. As a result, the capital of the investors has been lost to another thousand crore taka.

Market people say that whenever the country’s stock market is on its way to turning around, some kind of ‘dark cloud’ disrupts the market. This time too, when the investors were moving forward with hope after a long time, the violence of the quota movement shattered everything.
