NEPSE Rallies, Ends the Week Strong with Broad-Based Gains

Kathmandu, August 7, 2025 — The Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) wrapped up the week on a high note, with all sectoral indices posting gains that buoyed market sentiment.

1. The benchmark NEPSE index jumped 18.30 points (0.64%) to close at 2,850.37 on Thursday
2. Market participation was robust, with 25.4 million shares traded across 95,839 transactions, resulting in a turnover of NPR 8.53 billion, up from NPR 7.63 billion the previous day
3. Sectoral performance was broad-based, led by notable gains in finance companies, manufacturing & processing, and the ‘others’ sub-index, each gaining over 1%

This marks a turnaround from earlier in the week—on Tuesday, August 5, the NEPSE index plunged by 41–42 points, slipping to around 2,833.6, as the market experienced a significant downswing accompanied by elevated trade volumes (approximately 22.2 million shares and NPR 9.33 billion turnover)

What’s Driving the Market?

The strong rebound suggests renewed investor confidence, potentially driven by improved sentiment across key sectors. However, the sharp dip earlier in the week underscores lingering volatility amid fluctuating investor mood.

Outlook

If NEPSE sustains this momentum, it could signal a stable uptrend as Shrawan-Bhadra (July–August) is traditionally the market’s peak season. Yet investors should remain vigilant, given recent swings and evolving market dynamics.
