Colombo retailers were seen collecting certain midcap stocks at the start on Tuesday, showing a lackadaisical attitude amidst anticipation of a new government by Ranil Wickremesinghe, who was reappointed by President Maithripala Sirisena.
Yesterday’s trend of profit taking will be visible throughout today, brokers noted. Mr. Wickremesinghe’s surprise sacking from the premiership in late October pitched Sri Lanka into an extraordinary constitutional disaster, after which former President Mahinda Rajapaksa was sworn in at a closed-door ceremony. Rajapaksa has since then resigned as prime minister. Traders are awaiting new ministerial appointments and Cabinet formation.
