NEPSE Maintains Green Streak for 7th Day, Market Cap Hits NPR 4.97 Trillion, RSI Crosses 84

NEPSE Maintains Green Streak for 7th Day, Market Cap Hits NPR 4.97 Trillion, RSI Crosses 84

The Nepalese stock market continued its bullish rally for the seventh straight trading day, with the NEPSE index surging by 253 points during this period. On Wednesday, the index gained 5.17 points to close at 2,978.88 – the highest level in recent months. Daily turnover has remained consistently around NPR 20 billion for the past three sessions, while total market capitalization reached an all-time high of NPR 4.97 trillion.

This consistent rise has significantly boosted investor confidence. However, Wednesday’s session also showed early signs of caution, with a doji candlestick appearing after NEPSE broke through the 2,929 resistance. Technical analyst Ajit Khanal notes that the doji signals weakening buyer momentum and potential profit booking.

RSI Warning – Overbought Zone Crossed
According to stock analyst Ajit Khanal : The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed the 84 level, officially entering the "overbought zone." Historically, this indicates a high likelihood of a short-term correction. The next major resistance level stands near 3,045, followed by a stronger ceiling around 3,088 – from where the market previously reversed. While sentiment remains bullish, approaching this resistance zone calls for cautious trading.

Sector and Stock Movement
Out of 13 sub-indices, 7 closed higher while 6 declined. The Finance sub-index led the gainers with a 3.23% rise, whereas Hotels & Tourism fell by 1.10%. Notably, shares of Trade Tower and Sanvi Energy hit the upper circuit. Green Ventures surged by around 9.5%, while Bhugol Energy dropped by 5.32%.

Broker Activity Analysis
Among the top 10 brokers by turnover, five were net buyers and the remaining five were net sellers. Broker 58 led the board with a turnover of NPR 2.23 billion and a Buy/Sell ratio of 1.24, indicating stronger buying activity. Conversely, brokers like 49, 57, and 38 showed higher selling pressure.

The market remains in a bullish trend, but technical signals like RSI entering overbought territory and the appearance of a doji candle suggest caution. With the next resistance at 3,045, a correction or profit-taking could be expected. The hydro sector continues to dominate with nearly 38% share of daily trades, while participation from major brokers remains strong.

Major Political Parties Prioritize Climate Change in Election Manifestos

Major Political Parties Prioritize Climate Change in Election Manifestos As Nepal approaches the House of Representatives election on Falgun 21, major political parties have given strong priority to climate change in their election manifestos. Rising environmental risks, frequent natural disasters, and growing pressure on livelihoods have made climate issues a central political concern. Although Nepal contributes very little to global carbon emissions, its geographical location and fragile mountain ecosystem have made it one of the most vulnerable countries to climate impacts. As a result, political parties have begun treating climate change as a national development challenge rather than only an environmental issue.

Excess Liquidity Piles Up as Banks Show Reluctance to Expand Credit Despite NRB’s Easing Measures

Excess Liquidity Piles Up as Banks Show Reluctance to Expand Credit Despite NRB’s Easing Measures Kathmandu — Despite Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) adopting an expansionary monetary policy stance in the current fiscal year aimed at boosting credit growth, commercial banks remain hesitant to significantly expand lending. Instead of aggressively pushing loans into the economy, banks are increasingly competing to park their surplus funds in short-term liquidity absorption instruments issued by the central bank. This behavior clearly signals a deeper lack of confidence in credit expansion prospects, even after regulatory easing measures. The data reveals a striking liquidity imbalance within the banking system. Although deposits have continued to grow steadily, credit demand has not kept pace. As a result, more than NPR 838 billion (8.38 trillion rupees) has accumulated at Nepal Rastra Bank in various forms, including deposit collection instruments, standing deposit facilities, and central bank bonds. This reflects the inability—or unwillingness—of banks to deploy funds into productive sectors of the economy.

Nepal Lifts Cap on Automatic Route FDI, Signaling a Major Shift in Investment Policy

Nepal Lifts Cap on Automatic Route FDI, Signaling a Major Shift in Investment Policy The government of Nepal has removed the maximum investment limit for foreign direct investment (FDI) entering the country through the automatic route, marking a significant policy shift aimed at easing investment procedures and attracting large-scale foreign capital. With the ceiling now abolished, foreign investors can bring in unlimited funds into designated sectors without requiring prior government approval. Previously, investments through the automatic route were capped at NPR 500 million. While this upper limit has been scrapped, the minimum investment threshold of NPR 20 million has been retained. However, technology-based industries have been exempted from the minimum requirement, reflecting the government’s intention to promote innovation-driven investment.
