DAILY MARKET REVIEW

22/04/2010 (S.L.S.Picks) – Sri Lanka stock Market continues its upward momentum & reported further gains today on back of Earnings expectations, Plantation recovery, Boom in the tourist arrivals, Political stability in the country etc.. Upward momentum was supported by the buying interest from retail investors, High net worth individuals & Institutional investors.

All share price index rose by 38.66 points to close at 4077.55 & more liquid Millanka index was rose by 57.30 points to close at 4676.78.

Beverage food & Tobacco sector index rose by 5.34% due to the price appreciation of Ceylon Tobacco Company, followed by trading sector due to the share price appreciation of Singer Sri Lanka, which is one time high dividend paying company as Chevron Lubricants, Nestle Lanka, Commercial Bank, Hatton National Bank etc.
We expect Singer Sri Lanka to perform strongly in the future mainly due to their interests in the Agricultural sector, financial market through Singer Finance & through trading activities. They are yet to receive the full benefit of the end of 30 year old civil war in our country.

Overall market activities remain bullish on back of strong political stability in the country & expectation of positive company earnings.
