India's New Closing Auction Session Introduces Volatility Amid Market Adjustments
India's stock exchanges have introduced a new Closing Auction Session (CAS) for futures and options-eligible stocks, replacing the previous volume-weighted average price method to determine closing prices. While CAS aims to improve price discovery and reduce manipulation, initial sessions saw significant volatility and price swings, causing losses and concerns among traders. Regulators and exchanges urge greater participation to enhance liquidity and stability. Experts note that structural market limitations, such as limited short-selling and liquidity, contribute to the volatility, suggesting that broader reforms alongside CAS are needed.
