NEPSE market surprised everyone on Thursday as it hit a positive circuit right after trading began. Within just two minutes of market opening, the index jumped by 4 percent, leading to an automatic trading halt for 20 minutes.
Market jumps sharply
The NEPSE index rose by 102.41 points to reach 2,662 points before trading stopped. During this short period, shares worth over Rs 27.56 crore were traded. Trading is set to resume again at 11:23 AM.
Why the sudden surge?
Investor confidence got a major boost after Nepal Rastra Bank removed the loan limit on share pledges and allowed banks to manage share-based loans more freely. This move created a wave of optimism among traders, triggering a sharp rise in stock prices early in the session.
The market’s quick jump reflects renewed trust from investors, showing that policy changes can have an instant impact on trading sentiment.
