‘The market closed flat in the end, as market reaction was mixed regarding commitment by political forces to sit together and end violence. Since confidence could not solidify, doubts obstructed further rise of optimism’

“The market closed flat in the end, as market reaction was mixed regarding commitment by political forces to sit together and end violence. Since confidence could not solidify, doubts obstructed further rise of optimism,” said IDLC Investment in its market analysis.
All major sectors ended in red, except pharmaceuticals which gained 0.4%.
Lanka Bangla Securities said some major sectors opened positive, supporting the market to spot on green zone from the beginning of trade.
In contrast, economic activities of the country got the hit in recent times as an aftermath of political collision, it said.
