According to the Kathmandu Post, NEPSE gained 2.13% this week to close at 2,690.15, and weekly turnover jumped 53% to Rs 34.39 billion (about 34 arba).
That is a big jump in volume after the slow Dashain weeks. Is this the start of a proper run before Tihar, or will it fade once the IPO money gets locked up again? Which sectors are you watching?

Turnover is the key number here. A 53% jump in volume along with the index rise means real participation, not just a few heavy stocks being pushed.
The index still hasn't held above 2,700, though. I'd watch whether it can close above that for a few sessions before calling it a rally. Don't chase circuit stocks.
Remember there are fewer trading days around Tihar too, so the volume can drop again next week. SIP style buying in good banks and hydros is safer than trying to time it.
