The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) was yesterday forced to close trading manually past scheduled time due to a technical fault.

“The stock market operated by the CSE, which was scheduled to close automatically at 2.30 p.m. as usual did not close due to a technical fault. The market was manually halted and closed at 2.39 p.m.,” CSE said in a statement.

“In the interest of minimising the impact to investors, in the best judgment of the CSE management, it was decided that all transactions executed up to 2.39 p.m. will remain valid.

The relevant records in the CSE and Central Depository Systems will reflect this position,” CSE added.
