The Dhaka Stock Exchange gained 2.1 per cent on Sunday to cross the 5,300-mark after 18 months, as Robi’s debut on the bourse on Thursday appears to have heated up the market. Robi topped the gainers’ chart, advancing by 50 per cent, followed by LankaBangla Finance and SS Steel, both of which gained 10 per cent. On the first day of trading, the stock’s price cannot increase by more than 50 per cent on the issue price. Circuit breaker regulation will be as usual from the third trading session. Sunday was the second trading session for Robi shares.
