Market remained in positive territory helped by gains on John Keells Holdings. Most other blue-chips saw mixed sentiments. Most trading was done through retail volumes although few relatively large blocks on Seylan Bank non-voting, Indo Malay, Carson Cumberbatch and DFCC also traded.

Top contributors to turnover were Seylan Bank non-voting with Rs. 55.1Mn, DFCC with Rs. 20.5Mn and Indo Malay with Rs. 18.5Mn. Most active counters for the day were Seylan Bank non-voting, Dialog Axiata and Citrus Leisure warrant-19.
