Big news in the
derivatives market! SEBI has proposed a tweak in the expiry schedule,
suggesting that all equity derivatives contracts should now expire on either
Tuesday or Thursday. The goal? To space out expiry dates better and keep market
volatility in check.
And guess what? BSE鈥檚 stock price skyrocketed 18% on March 28,
2025!
What鈥檚 Driving the
Surge?
Market analysts
believe that since BSE already has Tuesday as its expiry day, this SEBI move
works in its favor. It ensures BSE won鈥檛 lose market share to NSE, which
dominates Thursday expiries.
Interestingly, NSE had
earlier planned to shift its expiry to Monday, but after SEBI鈥檚 proposal, it
hit the brakes on that plan. This means the status quo remains, and BSE gets a
solid chance to boost its options trading market share without immediate
competition on its expiry day.
What鈥檚 Next for BSE?
Right now, BSE holds
an 18-19% market share in options trading, while NSE is still the clear leader.
But with this new expiry rule, analysts predict BSE鈥檚 share could jump to
25-30% by Q2 FY26, leading to higher revenues and a stronger position in the
market.
The Bottom Line
SEBI鈥檚 proposal has
set the stage for big changes in the derivatives market, and BSE is emerging as
a winner in this shift. With expiry days locked in and market dynamics
evolving, all eyes are now on BSE鈥檚 next move.
