ECONOMYNEXT – The Colombo Stock Exchange closed down 1.2 percent on Monday due to some selling, data on its site showed.

“Market was down significantly,” Dimantha Mathew, Chief Research and Strategy Officer at First Capital Holdings PLC, told EconomyNext.

High volatility was seen in the market with investor interest flowing in and out.

“Selling pressure continues in the market.”

The broader ASPI closed down 1.20 percent, or 202.38 points, at 16,686.93; while the more liquid S&P SL20 Index closed down 1.20 percent, or 60.84 points, at 5,002.43.

“Turnover levels are declining with the overall market going down,” Mathew said.

The share volume fell 45 percent to 73,175,302 amidst further falls in turnover levels to 2.1 billion rupees in the session.

“Market is a bit volatile these days, with that there’s a bit of a downturn in the market,” Mathew said.

Banking sector stocks dragged the indices despite good quarterly results and dividends issuance.

“Banking sector counters see more selling pressure.”

Sampath Bank closed 0.4 percent weaker at 121.75 rupees, Nations Trust Bank closed down 0.5 percent at 207.00 rupees and Seylan Bank fell 2.8 percent at 75.00 rupees.

HNB had reported a 363 percent gain in profits in the December quarter.
