The Colombo Stock Market experienced a volatile week, beginning with sharp declines due to selling pressure in banking sector counters despite strong earnings. Although the market ended on a positive note, led by banking and blue-chip stocks, the recovery was not sufficient to offset the week's losses. The ASPI recorded a 2.43% WoW loss (410.64 points), closing at 16,478.67, while the more liquid S&P SL20 declined 2.61% WoW (132.10 points), ending at 4,931.17.
