Indian Stock Exchanges Introduce Closing Auction Session for F&O Stocks from August 3
Starting August 3, Indian stock exchanges NSE and BSE will implement a Closing Auction Session (CAS) for stocks with futures and options contracts, replacing the current volume-weighted average price method for closing prices. Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath noted this change aims to improve price discovery and reduce market manipulation but may reduce brokerage revenue by 1-5% and complicate market closing times. CAS pools buy and sell orders to determine a single closing price, addressing issues with large end-of-day trades impacting prices and index tracking errors.
