SEBI Reverts to Previous Settlement Method After Closing Auction Session Issues
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has reversed its August 3 introduction of the Closing Auction Session (CAS) for settling derivative contracts, returning to the previous method using volume-weighted average prices (VWAP) from the final 30 minutes of continuous trading. The CAS had caused significant price volatility and reduced trading volumes, prompting SEBI to modify the system. The auction will continue to determine official closing prices with a shorter transition window, aiming to restore market confidence and improve liquidity in the derivatives market.
