The Dhaka Stock Exchange's benchmark index ended Tuesday's trade 1.81 percent higher.
The DSE General Index gained 81.64 points to close at 4578.71 points on the week's third business day.
Shares and mutual funds worth around Tk 6.28 billion changed hands with prices of 244 issues advancing, 26 declining and six remaining unchanged.
Earlier in the day, the Cabinet nodded a proposed law, The Exchanges Demutualisation Act 2012, and approved changes to the existing SEC laws to give more teeth to the capital market regulator.
The Cabinet Secretary said the changes would pave way for setting up special tribunals for stock market-related cases and punishing SEC top brass if they failed to protect confidential information.
The changes will also make tenure of SEC Chairman and Members longer, making it four years from the existing three.
