KATHMANDU, March 14: Nepal Stock Exchange (Nepse) almost remained stable on Monday with the market index gaining just a marginal value of 0.15 points.
According to stockbrokers, the transaction was largely affected by the technical glitches that appeared in the online trading system on Monday. Due to this reason, Nepse halted the intraday transaction at 12:53 PM.
