Dhaka, May 8 -- The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) has rallied to regain 100 points in a day as indices rose sharply in a recovery following a sector-wide decline on Wednesday caused by the India-Pakistan conflict in the region.

The DSE price index knocked up 99.85 points to post 4,902 at the close on Thursday. Although the trade volume dipped, share prices rose for most companies.

On Wednesday, the premier bourse of the country lost 149 points, following a broad-based drop in share prices across all sectors as "rumours" over the conflict between India and Pakistan triggered panic sales.

Trading on Thursday morning began on a positive note and continued all through the day.

According to DSE data, shares worth Tk 3.66 billion changed hands...
