The benchmark Nepse lost 6.81 points to close at 703.01 points on Sunday, the first day of week´s transaction. Stock analysts said investors are on selling mood amid less probability of the announcement of bonus and right share and rumor of promoter share doing rounds in the secondary share market.
“As paid of capitals of most of the banks have crossed over Rs 1.6 billion and they can arrange remaining Rs 400 million from reserve, chances of registering new bonus and right share in coming days are very less,” Nanda Kishore Mundada, president of Nepal Stock Brokers Association, told myrepublica.com on Sunday.
