    NEPSE Temporarily Suspends Trading as Benchmark Index Surges 4.04%


    The Nepal Stock Exchange Limited (NEPSE) encountered a rapid surge, witnessing a significant 4.04% increase within the initial three minutes of the market opening today, reaching a level of 2,039.60 points. This substantial rise prompted NEPSE to implement a temporary suspension of its operations. The total turnover during this brief period amounted to 14.8 Crore. The market is scheduled to resume at 11:23 AM.

    NEPSE employs an Index-based Circuit Breaker system to manage extreme market movements, with triggers set at 4%, 5%, and 6% in either direction. These circuit breakers are designed to instigate trading halts across all equities, serving to maintain stability and prevent excessive volatility.

    Specifically, a 4% movement in either direction results in a 20-minute trading halt if it occurs during the first hour of trading (before 12:00 hours). However, if this movement takes place after 12:00 hours, there will be no trading halt, and normal market operations will continue.

    A 5% movement triggers a 40-minute trading halt if it occurs before 13:00 hours. In case the movement happens after 13:00 hours, there will be no trading halt at this level, and the market will resume its trading activities.

    A 6% movement, in either direction, leads to a complete trading halt for the remainder of the day. These measures are in place to ensure a systematic approach to handling market fluctuations and safeguarding against extreme volatility.

  • US Dollar Reaches Record High Against Nepali Rupee, Impacting Imports and State Loans

    US Dollar Reaches Record High Against Nepali Rupee, Impacting Imports and State Loans


    The US dollar has recently attained its highest value against the Nepali rupee, reaching a new record of Rs. 133.68 last Wednesday and continuing to rise. The latest statistics from Nepal Rastra Bank on this Sunday indicate a slight increase, with the current rate standing at Rs. 133.70, marking a 2-paisa uptick from the previous record. In practical terms, this means that 1 US dollar now requires 133 rupees and 70 paisa for exchange.

    The depreciation of the Indian rupee in comparison to the US dollar has played a role in the weakening of the Nepali rupee. Given that Nepal maintains a fixed exchange rate with India, any fluctuations in the Indian currency have a direct impact on the Nepalese rupee.

    The surge in the dollar’s value carries consequences, particularly making imports more expensive. As transactions for imports are conducted in dollars, a stronger dollar translates to higher expenditure. Furthermore, the appreciation of the dollar is expected to increase the burden of state loans from foreign donor agencies.

    While a robust dollar may have advantages for sectors such as tourism, exporters, and remittance recipients, experts argue that the disadvantages are more significant due to the substantial share of imports in the Nepali economy.
