IndiaThe Indian stock market has introduced new closing procedures effective from today, altering the traditional method of determining closing prices. Continuous trading for stocks with futures and options (F&O) contracts will end at 3:15 p.m., followed by a 20-minute Closing Auction Session (CAS) until 3:35 p.m. During this session, buy and sell orders are aggregated to determine a single equilibrium price, aiming to improve accuracy and reduce the impact of large last-minute trades. Stocks not included in the CAS will continue trading until 3:30 p.m., while index and derivative trading remains open until 3:40 p.m. The change is intended to enhance liquidity management and align with practices seen at global exchanges like the NYSE and LSE.
