Bourse closes week in the green

The several days-long bull run on the Colombo bourse, supported by turnovers of over Rs. 4 billion continued on Friday when the CSE closed for the week with its broad All Share Price Index up 65.61 points (0.67%) while the more liquid S&P SL20 was up a marginal 4.2 points (0.14%) on a turnover of Rs. 4.2 billion.

Brokers and analysts said that President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s interim budget and the announcement of the staff level agreement with the IMF gingered the market which has been attracting net foreign inflows in recent days.
