SEBI to float Consultation Paper to End Weekly F&O Expiries

Markets Discussions

Sources indicate that SEBI is preparing a consultation paper that could end weekly expiry contracts in the F&O segment. Here’s what’s on the table:

  • :memo: SEBI’s consultation paper on ending weekly expiries is expected within a month
  • :date: Transition to monthly expiries with a defined glide path
  • :arrows_counterclockwise: Same-day expiry across all exchanges under consideration
  • :clock3: SEBI Board likely to be briefed on longer derivative tenures at the September 12 meeting
  • :handshake: Consultations with exchanges to start as early as next week

If this moves forward, it could reshape trading strategies, hedging, and liquidity patterns across the market.

How would ending weekly expiries impact your current strategies?

Really bad idea from the regulator if this gets implemented. Atleast in the capital markets the regulator should let market decide on products and participation.

Higher transaction charges and lower liquidity causing higher slippages. I had stopped Bank Nifty and Finnifty strategies after they went monthly for these reasons. Need to see how Nifty and Sensex would playout if they go monthly.

Very bad!

If TINA, then enough liquidity could be there in Nifty monthlies

Ya SEBI chair had rejected taking weekly expiries off the market some time ago. Yet this kind of speculation keeps hitting. @RahulDeshpande was the latest based on a trusted source ?
