Equity indices of both the stock exchanges witnessed upward shifts as institutional investors kept investing, despite coronavirus vaccine import uncertainty, in the first one-and-half-hour trading session on Monday.

According to market analysts, investors are uncertain of economic recovery without vaccine after India on Sunday banned coronavirus vaccine export. This is why investors are selling shares, although indices have been able to continue the rising spree, thanks to the active institutional investors.

DSEX, the prime index of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) rose by 33.39 points or 0.59% to 5,652 till 11:30am.
