SEBI Confirms Closing Auction Session Will Continue Amid Liquidity and Volatility Concerns
India's Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) confirmed that the Closing Auction Session (CAS), introduced in August to determine closing prices, will continue despite concerns over sharp expiry-day volatility and liquidity issues. SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey noted that while CAS has faced initial liquidity challenges similar to other global markets, liquidity is expected to improve over time. The regulator is reviewing the methodology for settling derivative contracts to address market feedback and plans to issue a consultation paper on potential changes. CAS has enabled large institutional flows but also caused significant intraday swings during expiry days.
