The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has announced that 16 stocks will be banned from trading in the F&O (Futures and Options) segment today, August 14. This means that investors will not be able to buy or sell these stocks through derivatives contracts.
The stocks included in the ban list are:
- Biocon
- Birlasoft
- IndiaMart
- Aditya Birla Capital
- Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail
- Bandhan Bank
- Chambal Fertilisers
- Granules India
- Hindustan Copper
- India Cements
- LIC Housing Finance
- Manappuram Finance
- PNB
- RBL Bank
- SAIL
The NSE has put these stocks in the ban period because the derivative contracts in these securities have crossed 95% of the market-wide position limit. This means that too many investors are holding positions in these stocks, which can lead to price volatility.
The ban on F&O trading in these stocks will be in effect for one day, and investors will only be allowed to reduce their existing positions through offsetting positions. They will not be able to create new positions in these stocks through F&O contracts.
This is not the first time that the NSE has banned stocks from trading in the F&O segment. The exchange regularly reviews the positions of various stocks and takes action to prevent excessive speculation.
Investors should be aware of the stocks that are included in the F&O ban list and avoid trading in these stocks through derivatives contracts. They should also be cautious about the price movements of these stocks, as they may be volatile due to the ban.
