The listed options market (for both index and single stocks) remains small when compared to the index and stock futures market. Are there any steps that SEBI/NSE have to take so that listed options market kicks off??<BR/><BR/>2)The onshore OTC market for equity derivatives also remains absent. Will its opening up lead to any advantages in terms of price discovery, efficiency etc? In Europe (and in Asian countries like Japan, Kora and Hong Kong) OTC market activity has a huge effect on spiking up/dampening volatility at different times..Free Thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724960238076985720noreply@blogger.com
