Indian Exchanges Introduce Closing Auction for Futures and Options Stocks from August 3
Starting August 3, Indian stock exchanges will implement a new closing auction mechanism for stocks in the futures and options segment. This change replaces the previous method of calculating closing prices based on the average of trades in the last 30 minutes with an auction that matches buy and sell orders to determine a single closing price. The move aims to improve price discovery, reduce manipulation risks, and benefit mutual funds and active traders by aligning with global practices and enhancing market transparency.
