The Colombo stock market sustained its gains yesterday fuelled by banks amidst high turnover. The benchmark ASPI gained by 0.66% and the active S&P SL20 by 0.85%. Turnover was Rs. 3.6 billion involving 97.7 million shares. First Capital said the Colombo bourse maintained its bullish momentum, extending the positive sentiment from Tuesday’s close, driven by the policy rate cut announcement and reduction in T-bill rates. The ASPI closed at 13,050, which depicts a 0.66% increment, attributed to increased HNW participation, whereas retail participation was comparatively lower than the previous close. Additionally, specific stocks in the Banking sector and Materials sector continued to attract investor interest throughout the day. SAMP, HNB, RICH, DIPD, and DFCC emerged as the top positive contributors to the index. Turnover marked a 5.4% decrease from the monthly average. A major stake of SEYB shares was traded during yesterday’s session, contributing to a heavy portion of the turnover. Overall, the Banking sector led the turnover by a massive 63%, followed by the Capital Goods and Materials sectors jointly contributing 20% of the overall turnover. There was a net foreign outflow of Rs. 119.7 million signalling interest in external investments. NDB Securities said the ASPI closed in green as a result of price gains in counters such as Sampath Bank, Hatton National Bank, and Richard Pieris & Company. Crossings were witnessed in Seylan Bank, Hemas Holdings, and Ambeon Capital, accounting for 45.0% of the turnover. Mixed interest was observed in Sampath Bank, Dipped Products, and Hatton National Bank, whilst retail interest was noted in Browns Investments, Softlogic Capital, and Hela Apparel Holdings. The Banking sector was the top contributor to the market turnover (due to Seylan Bank, Sampath Bank, and Hatton National Bank) whilst the sector index gained 1.22%. The share price of Seylan Bank increased by Rs. 1.30 to Rs. 59.30. The share price of Sampath Bank gained Rs. 2.30 to Rs. 95.30. The share price of Hatton National Bank recorded a gain of Rs. 3.75 to Rs. 230.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons are back in first place in the NFC South and again in control of their playoff hopes. Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. showed the poise in his first NFL start the Falcons will need to take advantage of their opportunity to end a six-year playoff drought. Powered by a big-play defense that produced two pick-6s, a solid starting debut by Penix and two rushing touchdowns by Bijan Robinson, the Falcons cruised past the hapless New York Giants 34-7 on Sunday. On Sunday night, the Falcons (8-7) received the assist they needed when Tampa Bay lost at Dallas . Because the Falcons swept the Buccaneers, they hold the tiebreaker advantage if they remain tied atop the division. The Falcons have games remaining at Washington on Sunday night and at home against Carolina to close the regular season. If Atlanta wins both games, it would win the division and have a home playoff game. The Falcons are assured of their best record since a 10-6 finish under coach Dan Quinn in 2017, their most recent playoff season. Quinn is in his first season as Washington's coach and has led the Commanders (10-5) to three straight wins, including Sunday's 36-33 victory over Philadelphia. Penix, the No. 8 overall pick in this year's NFL draft, was promoted after coach Raheem Morris benched Kirk Cousins. Penix completed 18 of 27 passes for 202 yards with one interception on a pass that should have been caught by tight end Kyle Pitts. Penix is not a dual-threat quarterback, but he showed the ability to escape pressure in the pocket that Cousins lacks following his 2023 Achilles tendon injury. The left-hander's superior arm strength also was immediately obvious. Robinson's production provided a safety net for the offense which helped make for a smooth transition to Penix. Robinson had scoring runs of 2 and 4 yards. Robinson has rushed for 10 touchdowns this season. He's the first Atlanta player with 10 more more rushing touchdowns since Devonta Freeman during the 2016 Super Bowl season. Robinson ran for 94 yards on 22 carries and had 103 yards from scrimmage. His 11th game this season with at least 100 yards from scrimmage are the most for the Falcons since Warrick Dunn's 11 in 2005. Morris said Robinson deserves to be considered with Philadelphia's Saquon Barkley in discussions regarding the league's top running backs. “Bijan has been outstanding all year in the things that he’s able to do," Morris said. “He’s special. If it wasn’t for this other guy out in Philly, he’d get a lot more recognition across the league. But that guy is having a special year, and Bijan’s not far behind him.” With kicker Younghoe Koo on injured reserve and watching from the sideline, Riley Patterson was wide left on his first field-goal attempt from 43 yards. Patterson rebounded to make attempts from 52 and 37 yards. Jessie Bates III and Matthew Judon each had a pick-6 to highlight a day of big plays for the defense. Arnold Ebiketie had his fifth sack of the season and added a fumble recovery. Kaden Ellis added a strip-sack. He also has five sacks this season, including sacks in four consecutive games. It is the longest streak for Atlanta since Patrick Kerney had sacks in five straight games in 2001. There was some thought that a change at quarterback could be good news for Pitts, who often seemed to be missing in action with Cousins running the offense. After all, a tight end often is a natural target for quick passes from a rookie making his first start. Instead, Pitts had a poor start to the Penix era when he bobbled his first pass from the left-hander, creating an interception by cornerback Cor’Dale Flott. Pitts caught a 7-yard pass on his only other target. For the season, Pitts has 41 catches for 543 yards and three touchdowns. There will be much interest in this week's injury report after WR Drake London (hamstring) was hurt in the second half. Morris provided an optimistic postgame outlook on London. CB Antonio Hamilton (quad) did not return after leaving the game in the first half. 8: Bates has four interceptions and four forced fumbles. His combined eight forced turnovers lead the NFL. The game against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders is a reminder Penix was only the fourth of six quarterbacks selected in the first round of the NFL draft. Daniels, from LSU, was the No. 2 overall pick behind Caleb Williams by Chicago.

The 31-year-old Ross made 10 starts and 25 total appearances for the Milwaukee Brewers last season. He went 3-6 with a 3.77 ERA. Selected by the San Diego Padres in the first round of the 2011 amateur draft, the 6-foot-4 Ross has pitched in 123 career games across seven seasons with the Washington Nationals and Brewers. In his career, he has combined for a 4.19 ERA with 469 strikeouts to 170 walks. He's 29-34 with a 4.19 career ERA. Ross is the latest in an offseason of minor moves for the NL East champs. The Phillies acquired left-hander Jesús Luzardo from the Miami Marlins and signed free-agent outfielder Max Kepler to a $10 million, one-year deal. AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB
