NEPSE TUMBLES BELOW 1000 MARK
ShareSansar, August 20:
After making a marginal gain of 0.37 points yesterday following whopping loss of 21.14 points or 2.04 percent the day before, the benchmark index of Nepal Stock Exchange Limited (Nepse) again shed 17.91 points today to close at 995.71 levels.
This is the first time, the Nepse index has fallen below 1,000 level. The last time it was below that level was in July 7, when the index had closed at 995.19 level.
The market was brought down today basically by the banking group, with the highest market cap, though all the seven sub-indices suffered.
Apart from a handful of development banks and finance companies, two MFIs (First Microfinance and Nagbeli), a mutual fund (SIG-1), a hydropower company (BPCL), an insurance company (United Insurance) and the convertible preference of Everest Bank Limited, all the listed companies landed in the red zone. NIC Asia and Mega Bank as well as one mutual fund (NBF-1) and a few development banks and finance companies, however, remained constant.
The selling pressure steadily increased ever since the only secondary share market of the country opened for trading at noon.
Despite the momentary slump, let us not forget that the turnover remains steady and encouraging. It stood at an impressive Rs 51.16 crore today, though slightly low than Rs 55.24 crore of yesterday—but much better than Rs 47.80 crore of Tuesday and Rs 39.59 crore of Monday.
