Today, the country’s sole secondary market witnessed transactions worth over Rs 13 billion. This is the first time in the history of the share market of Nepal that daily transactions has crossed that mark. Meanwhile, the benchmark index slightly crossed 2,823 points today.

Meanwhile, the sensitive index expanded by 1.31 points to rest at 508.49 points and float index rose by 0.13 point to close at 194.37 points.

Despite the share market breaking a record in terms of the daily turnover most of the subgroups today witnessed losses. The biggest loser today was the finance sub-index which dropped by 2.2 per cent or 36.42 points to 1,615.52 points.
