DSE, CSE cut trading hours by 30 minutes

The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) have reduced trading hours by half an hour, keeping the opening time unchanged.

Trading will now run from 10:00am to 2:00pm, effective Sunday (April 5).

Under the regular schedule, trading typically begins at 10:00am and continues until 2:30pm.

The DSE has also shortened its office hours by one hour, which will now run from 9:00am to 4:00pm instead of the usual closing time of 5:00pm.

Both bourses said the decision was taken in line with the government’s strategy to manage the ongoing energy crisis, triggered by the American-Israeli aggression against Iran.
