Colombo Stock Exchange’s ASPI Surpasses 20,000 for First Time in History

The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) made history today (August 4) as the All Share Price Index (ASPI) surpassed the 20,000 mark for the first time during morning trading.

This significant milestone highlights growing investor confidence in the Sri Lankan market. At the time the ASPI crossed this psychological threshold, trading turnover stood at over Rs. 432 million.

Market analysts view this development as a positive signal, driven by strong investor sentiment and improved macroeconomic indicators. Many expect continued momentum in the coming weeks, particularly if foreign investor interest continues to rise.

The ASPI has shown a consistent upward trend in recent sessions, reflecting gains across multiple sectors including banking, manufacturing, and tourism-related stocks.

More updates are expected as trading continues throughout the day.
