The new ATS has led to a lot of confusion with the system not been viewed as very user friendly. Some of the shortcoming of the new system is the non-separation of the normal and odd boards. Many of the senior brokers have expressed their disappointment for the new platform and this has led to a very lethargic day at the Colombo bourse. Both indices and volumes are down for the day.
The Colombo Stock Exchange was on the a upward movement this week after falling dramatically last week below the psychological 5000 point barrier, the changeover has led many a investor to think the bullish momentum of the week will have a premature and abrupt end.
