The Textile, Wholesale and Telecommunications sectors scored the biggest percentage gains of the day (1.19 percent, 0.90 percent and 0.73 percent, respectively), while the Industrial (1.93 percent), Holdings (1.18 percent) and Base Metals (1.02 percent) sectors suffered the heaviest percentage losses.

The FTSE/ASE 20 index for blue chip and heavy traded stocks fell by 0.29 percent, the FTSE/ASE MID 40 index eased 0.10 percent and the FTSE/ASE SmallCap 80 index rose 0.43 percent.

Broadly, advancers led decliners by 158 to 131 with another 68 issues unchanged.
