Trading on the Colombo Stock Exchange got underway with a downward shift as investors took a cautious stance across major indices.
The materials sector emerged as the most actively traded segment during the session, indicating concentrated investor activity in that particular area of the market despite the overall negative sentiment.
The broader market weakness reflected investor hesitancy at the start of the trading day, with selling pressure outweighing buying interest in early transactions.
Market participants continue to monitor economic conditions and other factors that may influence investor confidence in the coming sessions.
