The upcoming general election in Nepal in 2082 has drawn significant attention from investors and market participants, as political transitions in the country have historically influenced stock market behavior.

🟡 Gold Shock in Nepal: Price Jumps to a Record NPR 318,800 per Tola

Kathmandu, January 28 — Gold prices in Nepal have stunned buyers and traders alike as the rate surged to an all-time high of NPR 318,800 per tola today, marking one of the sharpest spikes ever recorded in the domestic bullion market.

Families preparing for weddings and festivals are scaling back gold purchases, while jewelers report cautious buyers and slower sales. For many Nepalis, gold...
