ASPI Hits All-Time High with Over 200-Point Surge at CSE

 This marks a gain of 204.84 points and surpasses the previous all-time high of 17,661.5 points, which was recorded just earlier this month on June 12, 2025.

The upward momentum was mirrored by the S&P SL20 Index, which rose by 46.34 points to settle at 5,265.35 points, reflecting strong investor sentiment across key blue-chip stocks.

Market turnover was robust, with trading activity generating over Rs. 6.85 billion, signaling increased participation from both institutional and retail investors.

Analysts attribute the rally to a combination of improved economic outlook, strong corporate earnings in key sectors, and renewed investor confidence in the stability of the financial markets.

The ASPI’s record close continues a bullish trend seen in recent weeks, reinforcing optimism about Sri Lanka’s economic recovery and the performance of its capital markets.
