Sri Lanka's main stock index traded at its lowest since December 2012 on Wednesday, as investors sold the island nation's risky assets for the second day following deadly Easter Sunday attacks that killed more than 350 people.

The index was down 0.12 percent at 5,396.15, its lowest since Dec. 7, 2012.

The Sri Lankan stock index dived 3.63 percent on Tuesday, its worst drop in more than seven years, due to retail panic selling in its first trading day after the attacks.
