Good question — here are the best places and ways to get daily, reliable stock‑market insights for Sri Lanka (practical, ordered by reliability):
- Official exchange and regulators (most authoritative)
- Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE): daily market summary, indices, price lists, company announcements and trade statistics. Check the CSE website or its official publications for end‑of‑day reports.
- Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC): regulations, corporate disclosures and formal notices that affect markets.
- Local brokerages and research houses (daily commentary and trade ideas)
- Major brokerage houses and investment banks publish daily market commentaries, intraday notes and weekly research reports. Look for reports from well‑known local brokers and merchant banks (they typically post short morning/evening notes and weekly outlooks).
- Independent Sri Lankan financial news sites and business pages
- Business sections of major national newspapers and specialist financial websites publish daily stock updates, company news and macro commentary (e.g., business pages of national dailies and independent online business portals).
- International financial services that cover Sri Lanka
- Platforms like Bloomberg, Reuters, Investing.com and Yahoo Finance provide price quotes, charts and sometimes short market headlines for listed Sri Lankan stocks and the CSE All Share Index.
- Market data & apps
- CSE price feeds / Excel downloads or any official CSE app (if available) for end‑of‑day price lists and historical data.
- Mobile trading apps provided by local brokerages (live quotes, watchlists, push alerts).
- Real‑time sources and social channels (use cautiously)
- Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Telegram trading groups and Facebook pages often share intraday moves and rumors — useful for speed but verify against CSE filings and broker research before acting.

- Sign up for email newsletters from 2–3 reputable brokerages or financial portals.

- Company announcements (dividends, rights issues, board changes).
- Brokerage morning/evening notes for short‑term technical and fundamental context.
