India's New Auction-Based Stock Closing System Faces First Monthly Derivatives Expiry
India's new auction-based stock closing price system faces its first monthly derivatives expiry test, involving stock futures and physically settled single-stock options. Launched on August 3, the mechanism aims to align India with global markets but has encountered challenges such as thin auction volumes and regulatory scrutiny. The Securities and Exchange Board of India recently barred two firms for alleged price manipulation during auctions. Market participants express concern over potential sharp price swings affecting option settlements, highlighting risks tied to the new system.
