NEPSE market crashes after reopen from 10day break, investors lose 2.68 kharba rupees

Nepse stock market reopened on Thursday, Ashwin 2, after a 10-day break, but the reopening brought shock to investors. Within minutes of trading, the market dropped sharply, showing how sensitive it is to sudden changes.

Nepse follows a circuit breaker system to control big market swings. If the index changes by 4% in the first hour, trading stops for 20 minutes. In the second hour, a 5% change pauses trading for 40 minutes. In the third hour, a 6% change closes the market for the rest of the day. On Thursday, these rules caused the market to close after just five minutes of trading.

The Nepse index fell by 160.33 points, reaching 2,511.91. Market capitalization dropped by 2.68 billion rupees. Before the 10-day break, on Bhadra 23, market capitalization was 44.67 trillion rupees.

Although only about 728.7 million rupees worth of shares were traded on Thursday, investors lost billions in total due to the market decline. The sudden drop has left traders and investors concerned as the market works to recover.
