Indices close in green

Daily Mirror reports that the Colombo Stock Exchange’s two benchmark indices advanced sharply on 10 November 2026, marking a sixth consecutive session of gains as buying spread across the market. The outlet said the ASPI moved above 22,000 during the rally.

Daily Mirror reports that both indices closed lower on 11 November, ending the six-session run, with profit-taking following the recent rise. The outlet also described the market as consolidating above the 22,000 level.

Accounts of the 12 November session differ. Daily Mirror reports that the exchange returned to positive territory and that both benchmarks recovered as buying strengthened; Ada Derana reports that the ASPI gained 592 points and surpassed 22,000. By contrast, EconomyNext reports that stocks closed down 0.41 per cent, while Hiru News reports that the ASPI slipped from recent highs and the six-day rally ended.

Daily Mirror reports that price gains in Commercial Bank, Dialog Axiata and Hatton National Bank helped lift the indices in a green-session account. In a separate account of a lower close, Daily Mirror identifies losses in Hatton National Bank, Overseas Realty and Commercial Bank. EconomyNext names Dialog Axiata, Distilleries Company and Ceylon Cold Stores among positive ASPI contributors in its reports; one also lists Aitken Spence and DFCC, while another lists Hayleys and Hemas.
