The rupee finished the day at 328.00/10 against the US dollar in spot market transactions, reflecting stability in the foreign exchange segment. Market participants indicated that trading remained orderly with no major swings in either direction during the session.

On the fixed income side, government bond yields held their ground across the curve, with dealers noting a lack of significant upward or downward pressure. The steady performance in both currency and bond markets suggests a period of relative equilibrium in Sri Lanka's financial markets.

The rupee's stability comes as investors continue to monitor economic indicators and central bank policy developments. Dealers said liquidity conditions remained adequate, supporting the orderly trading environment observed throughout the day.

Market participants will continue to watch for any shifts in global risk sentiment and domestic economic data that could influence currency and bond valuations in coming sessions.
