Sri Lankan equity markets closed higher on Monday, supported mainly by buying interest in healthcare and real estate-related stocks. The broader market showed steady gains despite lower trading activity compared to the previous session.


The CSE All Share index settled 0.65% higher at 22,695, reflecting a firm tone across select counters. SMB Finance PLC (SEMB.CM) and HDFC Bank of Sri Lanka (HDFC.CM) emerged as the top percentage gainers on the index, rising 50% and 19.88%, respectively, indicating strong investor interest in specific financial names.

Market participation, however, showed mixed signals. Trading volume declined to 90.2 million shares from 155.8 million shares in the previous session, suggesting reduced activity. Despite this, overall market turnover increased to 4.81 billion Sri Lankan rupees (USD 15.1 million), up from 3.44 billion rupees earlier, pointing to higher value-based transactions in selected stocks.

Foreign investors remained net sellers, offloading equities worth 2.46 billion rupees, while domestic investors stayed on the buying side with net purchases of 4.8 billion rupees. The data indicated a clear divergence in sentiment between local and foreign participants during the session.
