The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) recorded its lowest daily turnover in nearly three months on Friday, with total market turnover declining to Rs. 722 million, the weakest trading session since 17 April 2025.

Investor activity remained subdued throughout the day, reflecting cautious market sentiment and reduced participation.

Meanwhile, the All Share Price Index (ASPI) fell by 42.16 points to close at 21,405.41, extending the market's downward trend. The decline in the benchmark index was accompanied by the weak turnover, highlighting the lack of strong buying interest across the market.

Market analysts attributed the muted trading activity to continued investor caution, with participants closely monitoring economic and corporate developments before making fresh investment decisions.

Despite the subdued session, investors are expected to remain focused on upcoming earnings announcements and broader economic indicators, which could influence market direction in the coming weeks.
