The bourse re-enters the negative region…
The trading day initiated on an adverse sentiment, leading
the indices to drown further to the red terrain. The market
witnessed a downturn from its early hours of trading, mainly
due to the lethargic investor participation and the heavy
selling pressure which persisted. ASPI settled the trading
day at its intraday low of 6,114.18, dipping by 41.64 points or
0.68%. Following a similar pattern the S&P SL20 closed
within the negative territory at 3,471.47, losing 19.10 points
or 0.55%. The total market capitalization stood at LKR
2.35Tn, reducing the year to date gain to 8.55%. The market
PER and PBV were 16.18x and 2.17x respectively.
The turnover for the day was recorded as LKR 288.42Mn,
indicating a drop of 27.79% against the previous trading day.
By accounting a share of 20.25% of the daily aggregated
turnover, Access Engineering PLC (AEL) added LKR 58.39Mn
while dominating the list. While being the top sought after
counter for the day with a traded volume of 2.84Mn shares,
AEL also managed to capture the highest retailer interest
logging 119 trades; this was amidst the counter declaring its
final dividend of LKR 0.25/- for the FY 2012/13. Having traded
between a highest traded price of LKR 20.80/- and a low of
LKR 20.50/-, AEL settled at 20.60/- (up by LKR 0.10/- or
0.49%). Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC (LLUB) stood second
providing LKR 39.93Mn, whilst closing the day at LKR 306/down by LKR 4/- or 1.29%. Ceylon Tobacco Company PLC
(CTC) also made a notable contribution of LKR 35.34Mn to
the daily turnover; CTC closed the trading day at LKR 1,200/(flat), having touched a highest trading price of LKR 1,215/-.
Furthermore, the turnover values recorded by the top three
contributors for the day AEL, LLUB and CTC accounted to
nearly half (½) of the day’s total turnover.
Under the sectorial round-up, Bank Finance & Insurance (BFI) sector topped the list providing LKR 68.94Mn, whilst
accounting to nearly 1/4 of the day’s total turnover. Further, Construction & Engineering (C&E) sector provided LKR
58.75Mn, and stood next in line under the top subscriber list for the day. The two sectors BFI and C&E collectively
made account to 44.27% of the aggregated turnover for the day. During the day, a total of 16.20Mn shares changed
hands resulting in a drop of 62.85% against the previous trading day. PC Pharma PLC & Panasian Power PLC secured
their position next to AEL under the top traded counters for the day with 2.78Mn shares and 1.95Mn shares
respectively being traded.
In terms of share price movement, 134 companies lost while 50 companies gained within the trading day. SMB
Leasing PLC Non-Voting (33.33%) took the lead under the list of gainers, on the contrary Kuruwita Textile Mills PLC (14.55%) led the losers. Foreign participants were bearish during the day, resulting in a net foreign outflow of LKR
29.25Mn (Foreign buying for the day amounted to LKR 114.11Mn and selling amounted to LKR 143.36Mn); this
reduced the year to date net foreign inflow to 15.95Bn. AEL witnessed a net foreign selling worth LKR 51.41Mn for
the 4th consecutive trading day, while leading the top net sellers during the day; on the other hand JKH topped the
net buyer’s list witnessing foreign interest worth LKR 11.47Mn. As at the day’s closure, the USD stood at LKR 133.20/selling and LKR 130.00/- buying.

Sri Lankan President opens Chinese-built Colombo-South Harbor
Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa declared open the Chinese-built Colombo-South Harbor propelling Sri Lanka
to become a major shipping hub in the region. The US$ 500 million project was launched in 2006 to cater for the
increasing demands of services in the international shipping industry. The port built with a partnership between the
government and China Merchant Holdings International is designed to handle mega ships over 18,000, 20-foot
container capacity. The facilities at the new port will make it the only port in South Asia with deep water terminal for
the mega container ships. The new breakwater has a depth of 18 meters, compared to the previous 14 to 15 meters,
enabling it to handle bigger cargo ships that require deeper docking berths. The main terminal was built by the
private sector and the all three terminals each having 1200m length and facilities to accommodate 3 berths alongside
of the port can handle 75 million TEU per year. (colombopage.com)
US employment up by 162,000 in July
The US economy added 162,000 new jobs in July. The figure - which measures the number of jobs outside the US
farming sector - was below economists' expectations of more than 180,000 and the government also cut its previous
estimates for hiring in May and June. Nonetheless, the new jobs helped the unemployment rate to fall to 7.4%. That
was down from 7.6% and is the lowest jobless rate in four years. The news adds to the picture of a slowly growing US
economy and may make its central bank more likely to end its monetary stimulus programme. The Federal Reserve is
currently buying $85bn a month in bonds which helps to keep borrowing costs low. Earlier this week, figures showed
that the US economy grew at a faster-than-expected annualized pace of 1.7% in the second quarter of the year. That
was up from the growth rate for the first three months of 2013, which was revised lower to 1.1% from 1.8%.

House prices rise 3.9% in a year
UK house prices recorded their biggest year-on-year increase for nearly three years in July. Annual price growth hit
3.9%, which meant the average home cost £170,825. Average prices rose by 0.8% compared with June. Property
prices a year ago were falling, so this was part of the explanation behind the large annual change. That average
prices were 12% higher than the lows seen during the financial crisis. The latest figures do not suggest a return to a
housing boom - prices remain 10% lower than the record highs of 2007. (bbc.co.uk)
India eases foreign investment rules in retail sector
India has eased key rules on foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail in an attempt to attract foreign firms as it
looks to boost economic growth. Rules governing sourcing of products, infrastructure investment and selection of
cities have been relaxed. India had opened up multi-brand retail to foreign investors last year, but no foreign
supermarket chain has yet entered the country. The move also triggered a series of protests in India. The previous
rules made it mandatory for foreign supermarkets to source 30% of their products from small Indian firms. The
government has retained that requirement, but said foreign firms will be given five years in which to reach that
target, giving them the option of importing goods from overseas initially. Global chains will also have to put 50% of
their initial investment in to building back-end infrastructure such as cold storage facilities. Foreign retailers will also
be allowed to set up shop in cities with a population of less than one million, which they had been barred from
earlier. (bbc.co.uk)
