16:15 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 Where is share market headed after Nifty closes below 18600, Bank Nifty above 44160
Benchmark indices, NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex ended flat on Tuesday. “The domestic market experienced profit booking due to selling pressure in the IT sector. IT stocks witnessed a decline in anticipation of further downward revision in spending. However, a rally in auto and banks helped to recover the losses. Going ahead an important influencer will be the commentary on growth and inflation forecasts by the RBI following its MPC meeting given the general consensus that rate pause will continue,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

15:44 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 Change in expiry to benefit traders; contribute to overall growth, stability of market
“I support the new process of expanding trading hours and moving the expiry of F&O contracts to Friday. It will provide customers with more time to trade, assess market conditions, and manage risks effectively before the expiry. On one hand, the market volatility will be in check, and on the other, one will see a stark reduction in weekend risks, both of which bring significant advantages for the traders. Moreover, the increased trading day presents a valuable opportunity for funds and option writers to collect higher premiums and boost derivative volumes. I believe these changes will greatly benefit market participants and contribute to the overall growth and stability of the market,” said Sarvjeet Virk, Co-founder, Shoonya by Finvasia.
15:26 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 Shifty in expiry day expected to enhance liquidity and volatility in markets
“NSE’s modification shifts the expiry day from Thursday to Friday, providing traders with an additional day to trade and manage their positions for both weekly and monthly expiries. The adjustment is expected to enhance liquidity and volatility in the markets, while concurrently aligning the monthly expiry of the S&P 500 with the last working day of the month, which is Friday. It is essential to note that the change in expiry day will not affect BSE F&O contracts, as the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has not revealed any plans to modify the expiry day for its F&O contracts,” said Arvinder Singh Nanda, Senior Vice President, of Master Capital Services Ltd.
14:49 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 NSE’s decision to shift Bank Nifty’s weekly expiry to bring in better trader focus
“NSE’s decision to shift Bank Nifty’s weekly expiry to Friday instead of coinciding it with the weekly expiry of Nifty on Thursday should help bring in better trader focus on each index and result in boosting overall volumes in the two most popular indices in the derivative segment. Additionally, it would also be in sync with the expiry on Friday done by BSE,” said Jay Thakkar, Head Alternate Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
14:31 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 Axis Bank share price jumps over 1.5%

13:56 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 Liquidity, transaction charges to play crucial roles in attracting market participants
“While liquidity and transaction charges are the two key factors determining the success of expiry products, NSE currently holds an advantage in terms of liquidity, whereas BSE offers lower transaction charges. It is worth noting that BSE’s Sensex and Bankex options have also gained considerable traction, indicating that the availability of multiple expiry options will not be the sole determinant of success. Instead, liquidity and transaction charges will play crucial roles in attracting market participants and ensuring the viability of these products,” said Parth Nyati, Founder, Tradingo.
13:55 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 Success of Fin Nifty’s Tuesday expiry inspired NSE to experiment with multiple expiries
“In recent times, there has been a notable shift in trading volume towards the options segment, particularly index options, due to the implementation of peak margin norms. Recognizing this trend, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has been actively focusing on index options and has introduced a Friday expiry for Sensex and Bankex option contracts. To respond to this market development, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has also decided to move its Bank Nifty expiry to Fridays. Moreover, the success of Finnifty’s Tuesday expiry has served as a source of inspiration for the NSE to experiment with multiple expiries. As a result, the NSE now offers four expiries per week, including Nifty Midcap options on Wednesdays,” said Parth Nyati, Founder, Tradingo.

13:30 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 Brokerages, exchange and government will gain from different day expiry
“Traders will utilize their capital in a more efficient manner if Nifty and Bank Nifty expire on different days; brokers will earn more brokerages, exchange and government will earn more transaction charges and STT,” said Mitesh Karwa, Research Analyst at Bonanza Portfolio Ltd.
13:30 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 Same expiry day will make it easier for investors to adjust their trading positions
“As NSE looks to gain a competitive advantage over BSE, the Nifty Bank expiry has been shifted to Friday. This will not impact Nifty Bank traders in any way but if both BSE & NSE had the same day as the expiry day would have surely made it easier for investors to remember and accordingly adjust their trading positions,” said A R Ramachandran from Tips2trades.
13:30 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 Different expiry days will help in reducing volatility
“Though Bank Nifty is a thematic index while Nifty is a broad-based index, and though both differ in terms of volatility and price ranges, they are often traded in tandem, with each taking cues from the other, especially during expiry day fluctuations. However, once expiry days become different, it is possible that such a link might diminish. This move is more significant than any of the other similar changes wrt expiry days brought in for Finnifty or that of BSE indices etc, as Nifty and Bank Nifty constitute the lion’s share of derivative volumes,” said Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. He further said that one could argue that too much may not be good, as now one would have to spare the heightened allocation of resources in terms of attention, research, time etc. to yet another day.
13:30 (IST) 6 Jun 2023 NSE shifted expiry day to counter BSE
“The NSE’s decision to shift the expiry of Bank Nifty to Friday can be viewed from two perspectives. Firstly, BSE F&O contracts, which expire on Friday, have gained popularity among traders due to lower charges than NSE. To counter this competition, NSE introduced the idea of shifting the expiry day. Secondly, NSE’s previous successful experiment with the Finnifty’s new expiry day may have influenced this decision,” said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd. He further said that expiry alone may not be the sole factor determining attractiveness; transaction charges will also play a significant role, especially considering the appeal of BSE Sensex F&O contracts.
