DSE cuts trading hours by 30 minutes amid fuel crisis

The Dhaka Stock
Exchange (DSE) has announced a reduction in its daily trading hours by 30
minutes in response to the ongoing fuel crisis, aligning its operational
schedule with a government directive aimed at conserving energy.
In a notice issued
today (4 April), the country's premier bourse said the revised trading and
office hours will come into effect from tomorrow (5 April), and will remain in
force until further notice.
The move reflects
broader efforts by authorities to manage energy consumption amid concerns over
fuel supply constraints and rising global energy prices.
Under the new schedule, DSE office hours will run from 9am to 4pm. The trading
session will now begin at 10am and continue until 2pm, shortened from the
previous closing time at 2:30pm.
The continuous trading
session will take place between 10am and 1:55pm, followed by a five-minute
post-closing session from 1:55pm to 2pm.
