BSE shares recovered nearly 3% intraday, touching around ₹2,223, after two straight sessions of decline.
The sharp rebound was driven by reports that SEBI’s upcoming board meeting would not remove weekly expiries or bring drastic F&O restrictions.
This gave relief to investors, who had been worried about severe reforms hurting trading activity and exchange revenues.
Market experts noted that the reaction highlights how sensitive exchange stocks are to regulatory news and policy signals.
For BSE, the bounce provided short-term comfort, easing some of the immediate pressure on its share price.
However, analysts caution that broader reforms in F&O trading could still impact long-term revenue growth.
Other exchanges and brokerages are also being closely tracked, as similar sentiment-driven swings may foll
ow.
The episode shows how regulatory meetings, agendas, and even small leaks can act as major catalysts for market movements.
Trading volumes in BSE also picked up, showing renewed interest from investors who were recently cautious.
Overall, the rally reflects temporary relief, but investors remain watchful of policy risks that could return anytime.
