From Sunday, trading in both the bourses will take place from 10:30am to 1:30pm without any break instead of the regular trading hours from 10:30am to 2:30pm. The decision was taken at a BSEC commission meeting presided by its new chairman Prof Shibli Rubayat Ul Islam, said a statement issued by the securities market regulator. The two bourses remained closed since March 26, as the government announced general holidays as part of its efforts to contain the spread of the novel virus. On March 19, BSEC launched a new circuit breaker to halt the free-fall that yielded positive outcome in the indexes.
