As a result, investors have lost around Tk 19,000 crore in two consecutive weeks of big bids. They have lost this money by reducing the share and unit prices of the listed companies.
Three of the five working days traded last week saw the stock market fall. In the remaining two working days, the stock market collapsed. This is why the investors lost a large amount of money. At the same time, the price index has fallen sharply. The amount of transactions has also decreased.
At the end of last week's last working day, the market capitalization of DSE stood at 63,394 crore Taka. In the last working day of the previous week, it was four lakh 72 thousand 97 crore Taka. In other words, the market capitalization of DSE has decreased by Tk 703 crore in one week.
In the previous week, the market capitalization of DSE decreased by Tk 10,757 crore. As a result, the market capitalization fell to Tk 19,460 crore in two consecutive weeks. Increase or decrease in market capitalization means that the share and unit prices of listed companies have increased or decreased by that amount.
Meanwhile, the DSEX, the main index of the DSE, has declined by 107.48 points or 1.98 percent over the past week. In the previous week, the index decreased by 134.16 points or 2.41 percent. In other words, the main price index of DSE has decreased by 241.64 points in two weeks.
Along with the main price index, the DSE-30 index, which is made up of renowned companies, has also fallen sharply. The index has declined by 52.99 points or 2.55 percent over the past week. In the previous week, the index decreased by 80.78 points or 3.75 percent.

As a result, the total transaction has increased by Tk 376.99 crore or 14.50 percent. The reason for the increase in total transactions is the one week less transactions in the week before last week.
