Aug 14, 2012 (LBO) – Sri Lanka's stocks ended a seven day losing streak and closed up 1.27 percent Tuesday with large cap stocks trading on higher prices, brokers said.
The All Share Price Index gained 61.74 points to close at 4,908.19 up 1.27 percent while the Milanka Index of more liquid stocks gained 141.41 points (3.23percent) to close at 4514.03 and the S&P index of large cap stocks rose 39.57 points (1.45 percent) to close at 2768.84.
The turnover for the day was 535 million rupees. Top contributors were John Keells Holdings with 208 million rupees, Commercial Bank with 59 million rupees and Dialog Axiata with 31 million rupees.
