Sebi to Review Closing Auction Session Methodology Amid Market Volatility Concerns
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) announced a review of the Closing Auction Session (CAS) methodology used to determine settlement prices for derivative contracts on expiry. This follows market feedback highlighting concerns over price volatility, liquidity mismatches, and sharp expiry-day swings linked to CAS. Sebi plans to issue a consultation paper proposing changes, potentially delinking derivative settlements from CAS closing prices. Capital market stocks, including BSE, Angel One, and Groww, rallied on expectations of regulatory adjustments aimed at reducing expiry-day volatility and improving price discovery.
