Sri Lanka's Colombo Stock Exchange closed higher on Thursday, with the All Share Price Index (ASPI) rising 0.89%.
The broad-based advance was driven by strong performance in major blue-chip names, including Dialog Axiata, John Keells Holdings (JKH), and Hayleys PLC.
The rally marks a second consecutive session of gains for Sri Lankan equities.
On Tuesday, the index also closed higher, supported primarily by strength in the healthcare sector.
The continued upward momentum indicates that buying interest is broadening beyond single-sector drivers, with investors rotating into larger-cap conglomerates and telecom stocks.
Market sentiment appears to be benefiting from a backdrop of improving macroeconomic indicators.
