· Business · Bloomberg, LiveMint, Economic Times
Indian markets are approaching their first monthly derivatives expiry under the new auction-based end-of-day pricing mechanism.

Traders have expressed concern over the potential for increased volatility during the transition period. The new process aims to ensure price discovery is more representative of actual market activity.
