"The market is sluggish at the moment, and we don’t expect more trade during the week," Arjuna Dassanayake of DFCC Stockbrokers told LBO.

The market had weakened in the run-up to the Buddhist Vesak holiday last week with investors staying away partly owing to fears company earnings would fall given high inflation and interest rates.

Counters affecting market activity were Aitken Spence which shed five rupees at 525.00 and the Lighthouse Hotel trading 4.75 rupees lower at 41.50 rupees.

Commercial Bank was also down 1.75 rupees at 134.00.

Investor activity was lower and retail trade dominated the floor on telecom and plantation counters, brokers said.
