The DSEX dipped 67.3 points or 1.33 percent to close at 4,966, its lowest since December 22, 2016 when it was 4,966. The steep fall prompted the securities regulator to form a panel on Sunday to identify the reasons behind the market route. “The confidence crisis is the prime cause of the market fall,” DSE Brokers Association President Shakil Rizvi told bdnews24.com. The DS30 index, comprising blue chips, lost 23.26 points to finish at 1,776 and the DSE Shariah Index shed 18.33 points to close at 1,139. The DSE turnover, however, was Tk 4.64 billion, which was 26 percent higher than the previous day’s turnover of Tk 3.68 billion.
