SEBI to Partly Reverse Closing Auction Rules for Derivatives Settlement
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) plans to partly reverse its recently introduced closing auction session (CAS) mechanism for determining settlement prices of derivatives after sharp price swings on expiry days. SEBI may suspend using CAS for derivatives settlement for at least a year, reverting to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the last 30 minutes of trading. However, CAS will continue to determine closing prices for underlying stocks in less-liquid cash markets. The regulator received around 20,000 suggestions following a consultation paper and aims to implement changes by month-end.
