Stock markets experienced fluctuations globally with some indices like S&P 500 and tech stocks falling, while others like Russell 2000 saw gains, attributed to factors like inflation data and company-specific news. In Dhaka, stock indices fell over multiple trading sessions due to profit booking and cautious investor sentiment, affecting major companies and market indicators. Similar trends were observed in the Indian stock market, where heavy profit booking led to declines in various sectors, impacting market capitalization and investor wealth. The market volatility reflected investor concerns about market momentum and outlook, with turnover and trading volumes fluctuating in response to changing market conditions.
