Stock analysts say the fluctuation in the share market is due to the unstable confidence of investors for the investment in shares.
“Investors are still susceptive to invest in shares despite encouraging gain during last week,” stockbroker Nawaraj Pokhrel, told myrepublica.com. “They are still in a ‘wait-and-see’ mode as the volume of transactions has not gone up, compared to NEPSE index’s rise,” he added.
