NEPSE Falls 6.38 Points as Turnover Rises to Rs. 3.74 Billion

Kathmandu, October 7, 2026: Nepal’s stock market closed lower on Wednesday, with the NEPSE index falling 6.38 points to 2,572.34 points. Despite the decline in the benchmark index, market turnover increased compared with the previous trading session.

The latest market movement shows a mixed picture for Nepalese investors. While the overall index came under selling pressure, trading activity increased, suggesting that investors continued to actively participate in selected stocks.

NEPSE Market Update Today

The NEPSE Index declined by 6.38 points and closed at 2,572.34 points.

Other major market indicators also ended lower:

• Sensitive Index: Down 0.63 points
• Float Index: Down 0.26 points
• Sensitive Float Index: Down 0.19 points
• Total Turnover: Rs. 3.748 billion
• Total Traded Shares: Approximately 10.3 million
• Total Transactions: 39,466
• Stocks Traded: 359

On Tuesday, the market had recorded turnover of around Rs. 3.13 billion, meaning Wednesday's turnover increased significantly despite the fall in the NEPSE index.

Why Did NEPSE Fall Despite Higher Turnover?

The increase in turnover while the NEPSE index declined indicates that investors were still actively trading even as selling pressure affected the broader market.

Of the 13 sectoral sub-indices, only the Banking sub-index recorded a gain. The remaining 12 sub-indices declined.

The Trading sub-index recorded the largest decline, falling by approximately 1.38%. Other sectors, including investment, life insurance, manufacturing and processing, microfinance, and non-life insurance, also ended lower.

This broad weakness suggests that Wednesday's decline was not limited to a single sector.

Ghalemdi Hydro Leads Turnover

Ghalemdi Hydro remained one of the most actively traded stocks and recorded the highest turnover during Wednesday's session.

The company recorded approximately Rs. 322.1 million worth of transactions, while Reliance Spinning Mills recorded more than Rs. 290 million in turnover. People's Hydropower Company also recorded more than Rs. 160 million in trading value.

Ghalemdi Hydro's share price increased by 6.25%, making it the top gainer among the actively traded stocks.

Other notable gainers included:

• AIC Asia Balanced Fund
• Ingwa Hydropower
• Other selected hydro and investment-related securities

At the other end of the market, Global IME Samunnat Yojana 2 recorded the largest decline, falling by approximately 5.26%.

What Does the Higher Turnover Mean for Investors?

Higher turnover during a declining market can have several interpretations.

It may indicate:

1. Active buying and selling among short-term traders.
2. Rotation of capital from weaker stocks into selected opportunities.
3. Continued interest in high-volume stocks such as hydropower companies.
4. Increased volatility and uncertainty among investors.
5. Investors waiting for clearer technical signals before taking larger positions.

Therefore, investors should not interpret higher turnover alone as a bullish signal. Price direction, volume, sector performance and technical indicators should be considered together.

NEPSE Technical Analysis Perspective

For investors learning technical analysis in Nepal, Wednesday's market action is important because the NEPSE index declined while turnover increased.

A trader may monitor:

• NEPSE support and resistance levels
• Trading volume
• RSI
• Moving averages
• MACD
• ADX
• Market breadth
• Sector rotation
• Breakout and breakdown levels

A combination of price movement and volume can provide a stronger picture than looking at the NEPSE index alone.
