Nepal’s stock market saw a slight boost on Wednesday, as the NEPSE index inched up by 5.17 points, closing at 2,978.88.
Investors remained active throughout the day, with Rs 19.57 billion worth of shares traded, a sign of steady confidence in the market. Over 44.8 million shares were exchanged across 319 listed companies, making up more than 170,000 individual transactions.
By the end of the session, 98 companies saw their share prices rise, while 152 declined. None remained unchanged, reflecting mixed sentiments among investors.
Among the 13 trading sectors, 7 ended in the green. The Finance sector led the gainers with a 3.23% increase, followed by small gains in others like the Mutual Fund sector, which edged up 0.15%.
However, not all sectors fared well. The Hotel & Tourism sector faced the biggest drop, slipping 1.10%, while the Commercial Banking sector dipped slightly by 0.25%.
The modest upward movement and strong turnover suggest that investors are cautiously optimistic, though sector-wise shifts show differing confidence levels across industries.
