Nepse Hits Positive Circuit as Market Surges 4% Within Minutes of Opening

Kathmandu — The Nepal Stock Exchange (Nepse) witnessed a strong rally today, triggering a positive circuit breaker of 4% within just three minutes of market opening. The benchmark index jumped by over 100 points, reflecting a sudden surge in investor optimism.

According to early trading data, transactions worth over Rs. 27 crores were recorded before the circuit halt was imposed, as massive buying pressure pushed the market sharply upward.

The surge follows the latest circular issued by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), which included several policy reforms perceived as capital market-friendly. Investors responded enthusiastically, driving a wave of aggressive buying across major sectors.

This comes shortly after the market had been hit by a negative circuit following the “Gen Z movement” protests that had shaken investor sentiment. However, today’s session marks a complete reversal of that negative mood, signaling renewed confidence among investors.

Market analysts attribute the rally to fresh policy clarity, improved liquidity expectations, and strong institutional participation. They describe the surge as a natural rebound following a period of correction and uncertainty.
