This is a fast run unexpected. Foreigners are still in ahead. When both are on run what would be the index numbers. Market correction may occur at intervals which bring in more surprises. However it is a good sign to count the increased number of trades.

* Rupee falls by 10 cents

The Colombo bourse reached a 17 month high on Monday (06) with turnover exceeding Rs. 4 billion.

The rupee weakened by around 10 cents to a US dollar on Monday on importer demand.

"The rupee closed at Rs. 126.40/60 against the US dollar, down 10 cents from its opening position on subdued importer demand, volumes were thin," a currency dealer said.

Activity in the secondary market for Treasury bonds was subdued as well, dealers said.

The All Share Price Index closed 1.8 percent higher, gaining a sharp 107.99 points to end the day at 6,121.17. The index has gained 8.47 percent year-to-date.

The S&P SL20 closed at 3,461.12, up 55.13 points or 1.62 percent, for a year-to-date gain of 12.18 percent.

Turnover reached Rs. 4,153.62 million.

Foreign purchases amounted to Rs. 123.20 million, leading to net inflow of Rs. 28.22 million.

"The indices ended sharply higher on the back of sustained buying interest across the board, which pushed the ASPI to a 17 month high. Turnover crossed the Rs. 4bn mark supported mainly by the purchase of a controlling stake in Lanka Ceramics PLC by Royal Ceramics PLC," John Keells Stockbrokers said.

"Lanka Ceramics defined the market story: Lanka Ceramics spearheaded the day’s turnover contributing 78%, led by Royal Ceramics acquiring a controlling stake of 76.11% in the company. A block of 19.9 mn shares was transacted in the counter at a 52-week high price of LKR120.0 followed by a block of 1 mn shares which was crossed off at a similar price. Related Companies; Vallibel One and Lanka Walltiles too encountered renewed interest with each recording intra-day gains of 9.6% and 8.2% respectively," Softlogic Equity Research said.

"Gainers outpaced losers with Lanka Ceramic, Sinhaputhra Finance, John Keells PLC rising by 50.0%, 39.7% and 13.3% and offsetting declines in Selinsing, Beruwela Walk Inn and Environmental Resources Investments (W006) which fell by 19.1%, 13.3% and 6.7% respectively," DNH Financial said.

"With the 1Q2013 corporate results currently trickling in, we expect the majority of companies in our universe to record healthy top line growth on the back of robust macro-economic conditions and an uptrend in the domestic consumption cycle. Emerging market (EM) asset managers may therefore benefit from an allocation to Sri Lanka given the likelihood of a boost to their portfolio’s both from an absolute and risk adjusted returns point of view, given the prospect of firm double digit returns for Sri Lankan stocks, however on a selective basis," it said.
