KATHMANDU: Nepal’s stock market posted a modest recovery on Thursday, with the benchmark NEPSE Index gaining 5.82 points after a steep decline of 74.73 points in the previous session.
Following today’s transaction, the NEPSE index settled at 2,782 points. The market experienced intraday volatility, reaching a high of 2,808 points at around 1:07 PM, which marked the day’s peak before easing back.

The most actively traded stocks of the day included SY Panel, Ngadi Group, Himalayan Reinsurance, NRN Infrastructure, and API Power, indicating continued investor focus on hydropower and infrastructure segments.

Analysts say sustained recovery will depend on liquidity conditions, policy clarity, and broader macroeconomic stability in Nepal.
Investors remain watchful as the market navigates volatility, with particular attention on newly listed stocks and sectoral rotation trends.
