What Is the "Secondary Market"? The secondary market is where you buy and sell shares of companies that are already listed on NEPSE — as opposed to the primary market, where you apply for brand-new IPOs. Once a company lists, its shares move between investors every trading day, and prices go up or down based on demand. You can only trade companies listed on NEPSE, and the exchange is open Sunday to Thursday, 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, closed Fridays, Saturdays, and public holidays. The 3 Accounts You Need Before You Trade Think of these as three linked tools, each with one job: Account ...

How Global Oil Tensions Are Quietly Hitting Your Wallet (And Nepal's Stock Market) If you've been following the news lately, you've probably heard about the tension between Iran and the US. It might seem like something happening far away that doesn't touch Nepal at all. But here's the truth: when oil-producing regions get unstable, the effects travel all the way to your local petrol pump — and even to the NEPSE trading floor. Let's break this down in simple terms. Why Does Iran Affect Nepal's Fuel Prices? Nepal doesn't produce its own oil.

Iran is one of the world's biggest oil producers and sits right next to ...

Analysts covering Alphabet's stock (Google's parent company) have set very high price targets, saying that fears of "AI killing search" turned out to be wrong. In fact, some reports note that both Google and Meta have become big winners from the current wave of AI investment, not victims of it. Why does this matter to a Nepali investor? ...
