The capital goods and insurance sectors collectively accounted for 26% of turnover, though capital goods dipped by 0.03%. • Key Market Drivers: Market gains were weighed down by SAMP, BREW, BUKI, JKH, and CDB, offsetting positive support from MELS, SPEN, DIAL, CFIN, and HARI. Early momentum driven by declining T-Bill auction yields faded by mid-session due to low participation from retail and HNW investors. Heavy institutional and HNW interest centered on Seylan Bank, JKH, and Pan Asia Bank.
