SEBI Implements Closing Auction Session Amid Trading Volume Drop and Manipulation Review
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) recently introduced a new Closing Auction Session (CAS) to determine closing prices for derivatives stocks, replacing the previous volume-weighted average price method. Initial trading volumes have declined due to uncertainty and reduced participation, causing confusion among traders and brokers. SEBI remains committed to the mechanism, citing early teething issues and plans for technological improvements. Meanwhile, SEBI is investigating sharp Nifty index swings during CAS for potential market manipulation amid concerns over low liquidity.
