Sebi reintroduces VWAP for derivatives expiry after CAS turns markets volatile

SEBI is in focus.

· LiveMint Markets

CAS, introduced in August, led to abrupt price swings on expiry day, making it difficult for traders to participate in the futures and options (F&O) segment.

Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.

  • With SEBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
  • This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
