Banking sector was the most hit during the week. Investors were seen selling their
holdings in banking sector counters following the harsh treatment received from
2016 budget. SAMP, COMB and NTB closed LKR 8.80, LKR 6.50 and LKR 8.20
lower. Construction and Engineering sector counter AEL was actively traded dur-
ing the week. Block deals on the counter accounted for ~4% of week’s turnover.
The stock however closed LKR 0.30 lower at LKR 23.60. Despite the losses wit-
nessed in certain counters investor activities picked up during the week in com-
parison to prior week, as budget worries seemed to be fading away gradually.
