Although the secondary market recovered 94 points after the authority reopened the system for trading, it observed a freefall thereafter. The entire 13 sub-groups of the market landed in the red on Sunday trading. 


The country’s stock exchange market has been facing high volatility after Nepal Rastra Bank implemented the monetary policy for 2021/22. Through the policy, the central bank has tightened the noose on large investors in particular, by capping on the margin loans threshold.
