Shares of BSE Ltd. saw a smart recovery on Wednesday, rising 2%, after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued a much-needed clarification that helped ease investor concerns.
The bounce came a day after media reports—including one from CNBC-TV18—suggested that SEBI was considering a proposal to link options trading positions with cash market holdings. However, SEBI swiftly stepped in to clear the air.
Responding to the buzz, the market regulator said there is no such proposal currently under consideration. It also reaffirmed that any regulatory changes would always go through a transparent and consultative process, as has been its standard practice.
Apropos reports in some sections of media around supposed proposals to link option leverage limits to cash positions, it is clarified that no such proposal is currently under consideration.
As ever, SEBI will follow due process including transparent and public consultation…
