There were also positive changes in the market capitalisation of food and allied, engineering, and telecommunication scrips, it said.

Stocks of British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BATB) dropped at Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) following the lifting of its floor price yesterday, just as it had occurred for that of Grameenphone on the day before.
