Kathmandu | The Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) rebounded strongly today, gaining 39.13 points (1.51%), closing at 2,621.86. This follows yesterday’s sharp drop of 58.05 points (-2.19%), highlighting the market’s volatility. The index fluctuated significantly over the past three days, with a 26.10% gain the day before yesterday, showing unpredictable movement.
Despite today’s rise, total turnover declined to Rs. 4.10 billion from yesterday’s Rs. 5.05 billion. A total of 317 companies were traded, with 231 gaining and only 12 losing. The total traded shares stood at 9.14 million. The total market capitalization is now Rs. 4.35 trillion, while the float market capitalization stands at Rs. 1.45 trillion.
