JKH and Commercial Bank continued to be the main market drivers with one broker joking, "ours is a one-and-a-half stock market – JKH being the one and Commercial Bank the other half."
A single crossing of nearly 0.5 million JKH at Rs.234.50 contributed Rs.109.5 million to turnover while Commercial Bank (voting) saw over 0.4 million shares crossed in two parcels at Rs.132 contributing Rs.56.4 million.
Both these counters also generated the biggest floor trades with ComBank (voting) closing Rs.2 up at Rs.134 on nearly 0.5 million shares to top the turnover league at Rs.64.8 million.
JKH followed edging down a marginal 10 cents to close at Rs.234.40 on over 0.2 million shares done between Rs.234 and Rs.234.50 contributing Rs.5 million turnover.
"The blue chips drove up the indices," a broker said. "Most of the floor trades in these counters were done in large parcels."
Other most traded stocks included Hemas up 50 cents to close at Rs.43.50 on nearly 0.8 million shares, Sampath up Rs.1.10 to close at Rs.193 on nearly 0.2 million shares, HNB (non-voting) up 50 cents to close at Rs.127 on over 0.2 million shares and HNB (voting) up Rs.1.80 to close at Rs.157 on nearly 0.2 million shares.
Brokers noted that all most traded counters gained in price with the exception of JKH which edged down 10 cents.
Tokyo (voting) closed 10 cents up at Rs.41.90 on nearly 0.6 million shares, Chevron closed a rupee up at Rs.280 on 76,508 shares and Access closed 50 cents up at Rs.24 on over 0.7 million shares.
