The Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) will resume using the last traded price as the official closing price for listed stocks starting Tuesday, September 23, following the public holiday for Ghatasthapana.
Previously, NEPSE used a 15-minute weighted average system, calculating closing prices based on trades between 2:45 PM and 3:00 PM. The move to the weighted system had aimed to reduce the impact of small, last-minute trades but faced criticism for causing confusion among investors.
Under the new arrangement, the final trade of the day will determine the official closing price, simplifying the process and enhancing transparency. NEPSE expects this change to restore clarity and investor confidence in market valuations.
