Sri Lankan equities continued their downward trajectory on Tuesday, with the Colombo Stock Exchange's All Share Price Index trading 0.17% lower during midday sessions.
The decline marks the latest session of selling pressure in a market that has struggled to find footing over the past week.
Capital goods stocks accounted for the largest share of trading volume, according to data from EconomyNext.
The sector's heavy turnover suggests investors are rotating out of cyclical exposure amid broader uncertainty.
This follows a week of persistent losses, with the index closing down 0.19% on Friday at 22,178.73 points, capping four consecutive sessions of declines.
The selling pressure has been broad-based but uneven.
