The National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India announced that nine stocks have been added to the Futures and Options (F&O) ban list on Thursday, January 16, 2025. This action was taken because these stocks exceeded 95% of their Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL).
Which Stocks Are in the Ban List Today?
The nine stocks on the F&O ban list for January 16, 2025, are:
- Aarti Industries
- Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail
- Angel One
- Bandhan Bank
- Hindustan Copper
- Kalyan Jewellers India
- L&T Finance
- Manappuram Finance
- RBL Bank
The stocks were placed under the F&O ban because their derivative contracts reached 95% of the market-wide position limit. This means that the total number of open positions in these contracts was too high compared to the allowable limit. This restriction ensures market stability and protects investors from excessive risks due to high speculation.
Investors cannot trade in futures and options contracts for the banned stocks until they are removed from the list. However, they can still buy or sell these stocks in the cash market.
The NSE checks and refreshes the F&O ban list on a daily basis. Traders and investors are encouraged to check the list regularly to stay informed about restrictions on specific stocks.
While the F&O ban may limit certain trading activities, investors can focus on other opportunities in the stock market. It’s essential to monitor market-wide trends, stay updated on stock performance, and make informed decisions.
The inclusion of these nine stocks in the F&O ban list highlights the importance of keeping track of market limits and understanding regulatory measures. Investors are advised to plan their trades carefully to navigate these restrictions effectively.
