Understanding MWPL and the table
- MWPL is the maximum aggregate open interest permitted in a stock's derivatives.
- A stock enters the F&O ban when aggregate open interest exceeds 95% of MWPL; while it is in ban, participants may only reduce existing positions.
- Normal trading resumes when aggregate open interest falls to 80% of MWPL or below.
- T-1 is the latest completed trading session, T-2 is the preceding completed session, and Change (pp) is T-1 MWPL utilisation minus T-2 MWPL utilisation in percentage points.
How might the F&O ban on Bandhan Bank and SAIL impact their short-term liquidity and volatility compared to peers in the banking and steel sectors?
Given LIC Housing Finance's MWPL utilisation exceeding 121%, what are the immediate risks for derivative traders holding open positions, and how likely is a ban extension?
Will the upcoming investor meets for LIC of India and Ambuja Cements influence market sentiment enough to reduce open interest and prevent them from entering the F&O ban list?
