Weekly and monthly derivatives agreements of the National Stock Exchange will now end on Tuesday, followed by a long time on Thursday. Instead, the contract for the Bombay Stock Exchange will end this month from Thursday.
Puneet Sharma, CEO and fund manager of White Space Alpha, said the change will transfer the rhythm of the weekly derivatives market.
“With NSE’s weekly expiration moving on Tuesday, we will see more activity and intense moves at the beginning of the week, especially on Monday and Tuesday. Essentially, the ‘Thursday’s rush’ which was now moving a week, and will become a new normal.”
The Nifty derivatives are trading more widely than the Sensex contract, so sharp volumes were seen on Thursday’s previous expiry days. The shift of the expiration by exchanges follows the B Oures RS to limit the Dicks of Securities and Exchange Board to any day from two days: Tuesday or Thursday.
The exchanges for each of these agreements are after a separate termination of days, resulting in increasing instability in the market, forcing the regulator to take action.
