Options Trading Sees A Decline After SEBI's New Rules

Ankit Mandholia, Head of Equity and Derivatives at Motilal Oswal, notes a decline in Bank Nifty and Fin Nifty volumes, offset by a rise in Nifty and Sensex volumes. He expects flagship products to gain popularity as trading strategies adjust to the new environment. December usually sees lower volumes, with reduced activity due to fewer weekly options, while volatility remains persistent.
