The rupee appreciated further in foreign exchange markets, closing at 331.10/20 against the US dollar in spot trading, reflecting a continuation of the local currency's recent upward momentum.
The strengthening of the rupee comes amid broader efforts to stabilize Sri Lanka's currency and foreign exchange position. The movement suggests sustained demand for the local currency and continued confidence in the rupee's trajectory.
In the fixed income market, government bond yields held steady throughout the trading session, with no significant volatility recorded across the curve. The stability in yields indicates a balanced sentiment in debt markets despite currency movements.
