KATHMANDU: Trading at the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) was halted for the second time on Monday after the benchmark index continued its sharp rally following the reopening of the market.
The second circuit breaker was triggered shortly after trading resumed from the first halt. According to NEPSE rules, the market was suspended again after the index climbed an additional 1 percent, bringing the total intraday gain to 5 percent.
Earlier, trading had already been paused for 20 minutes after the index surged 4 percent within minutes of the market opening.
With the latest trigger, trading has now been suspended for 40 minutes, and the market will resume only after the cooling-off period ends.
The rapid surge in the NEPSE index reflects strong buying pressure and heightened investor sentiment in Nepal’s capital market, with investors aggressively placing buy orders across multiple sectors immediately after the market reopened.
Market regulators use the multi-stage circuit breaker system to control extreme volatility and prevent panic-driven or speculative trading in Nepal’s stock market.
