Continuous Decline in Stock Market, NEPSE Falls by 25.16 Points

The stock market continued its downward trend on Wednesday, with the NEPSE index dropping by 25.16 points, settling at 2,821.13 points. The total transaction amount also declined, falling below NPR 10.97 billion. Except for the trading sector, all other indices saw a decline.

The primary reason behind this market downturn is traders booking profits. As the market had surged significantly in a short period, investors started securing their profits, putting pressure on the market. Additionally, many investors have adopted a "wait and watch" approach, contributing to the decrease in transaction volume.

Market analysts suggest that corrections during a bull run are natural. Over the past nine trading days, NEPSE had gained nearly 212 points, but since Monday, a slight correction has been observed.

Despite the current decline, experts believe the overall market outlook remains positive. Factors such as low bank interest rates, ample liquidity in the financial system, and increasing institutional investment indicate long-term market growth.
