The NEPSE index continued its upward trend for the third consecutive trading day, rising by 6.37 points (0.30 per cent) on Wednesday to close at 2121.62. The trading volume also increased, reaching approximately Rs 6 billion, up from Rs 5.49 billion on Monday.

While the finance, banking, and microfinance sectors saw gains, corrections occurred in the hydropower, non-life insurance, trade, and hotel and tourism sectors. The hydropower sub-index, which had risen for four consecutive days, fell by 0.61 per cent due to trader manipulation and limited share supply.
