Nepse Wrap up (Review period 30th June to 4th July, 2013)

ShareSansar, 5TH July:

Nearing fiscal year end and IPOs of Sana Kisan Bikash Bank Limited and Rural Microfinance Development Centre Ltd. swept away the positive sentiment of the market that was seen last week from the news of NRB in process to increase the paid up capital of financial institutions, this week.

The market index came down by 1.91 points to close at 493.63 levels by the end of this week.

The pressure of the upcoming fiscal year closing has kept the investors short of cash as they are obligated to either pay the debt or omitted from getting share loans. Along with this scenario, the investors holding back to invest in the upcoming two of the appealing IPOs from next week have even further saturated the market this week.

The market turnover fell by 11 percent this week to total around Rs 378.85 million with a daily average of Rs75.77 million compared to Rs 84.91 million of the prior week.

Altogether, the market saw 5,985 transactions in which 1,753,534 shares were traded. The market capitalization at the end of the review period stood at Rs 489,086.96 million.
