The Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) has shown signs of improvement after a continuous downward trend. Recently, NEPSE had dropped below 2800 after crossing the 3000 mark. During this period, various negative news had impacted the market. Factors like unnecessary broker limits and microfinance companies facing capital constraints were seen to have a negative effect on the market. However, as brokers have started loosening their limits and other economic indicators are turning positive, investors are optimistic about a market recovery. Analysts have mentioned that for the market to cross the 3200 mark, some significant news is needed. Also, if margin trading becomes spontaneously operational, it could bring a boost to the market. Currently, brokers are not the only ones capable of margin trading, but if linked with banks, the brokerage limits could be reduced, which would support the market above 3200.Dipesh Ghimire·19 Aug, 2025
