The Colombo Bourse reflected a mixed sentiment this week, starting with modest gain as the market appeared less enthusiastic about cheering the NPP's landslide victory in last week’s General Election. Midweek trading saw a dip after seven consecutive sessions of gains, driven by profit-taking, which overshadowed the renewed investor sentiment seen later in the week. As a result, the market ended on a negative note, unable to fully offset the losses incurred midweek.
