Options trading volume hit a 4-month low, nearly 40% lower than the year's average on a recent trading day.
Investors awaited the impact of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) order on Jane Street's trading activities, affecting the Nifty 50 Index and options trading on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Market experts are cautious due to SEBI's scrutiny, with expectations of decreased options volume on weekly contracts. SEBI's actions aim to curb market manipulation and losses incurred by retail investors.
Derivatives trading in India has seen increased regulation by SEBI following significant growth, leading to changes in trading volumes and strategies among market participants.
