The DSE market opened at 11 am instead of 9:30 am on Sunday. There were no technical glitches but the market operators mistakenly imposed circuit breakers on all securities instead of 70, resulting in market closure.
“By correcting the mistake, the market opened late and continued till 2:30 pm,” said DSE Deputy General Manager Shafiqur Rahman.
DSE authorities have expressed regret for this unfortunate situation.
