DHAKA, Feb 2, 2026 (BSS) – Stocks today extended upward trajectory for a second consecutive session, as investors heightened participation and sustained accumulation in banking stocks propelled the benchmark index to a near four-month high. This improving sentiment translated into broad-based buying-interest across key sectors, enabling the index to extend gains through the session and close in positive territory. Meanwhile, market turnover increased by 9.6% to Taka 3.9 billion from Taka 3.5 billion in the previous session. On the sectoral front, General Insurance (18.2%) accounted for the highest share of turnover, followed by Pharma (13.7%) and Textile (11.4%). The Selective Categories' Index (CSCX) and All Share Price Index (CASPI) advanced by 22.4 points and 28.6 points, respectively.
