Sri Lanka stocks slide 0.8-pct

Dec 16, 2011 (LBO) - Sri Lankan stocks sagged further Friday in a deepening slide that saw the main index dip below 5,900 points in thin turnover, brokers said. The main All Share Price Index fell 0.82 percent (48.63 points) to 5,892.69, while the more liquid Milanka index fell 1.08 percent (56.29 points) to close at 5,134.68.

Turnover was a low 463 million rupees, one of the lowest in recent months, according to stock exchange provisional figures.

"The market remained dull and continued to descend with losses recorded in index heavy John Keells Holdings affecting the performance of both the market indices to a large extent," SC Securities said in a report.
