MUMBAI (Reuters) – India markets regulator on Tuesday tightened the rules for derivatives trading by raising the entry barrier and making it more costly to trade in the asset class, despite a pushback from investors.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) lowered the number of weekly options contracts available to trade for investors to one per exchange and raised the minimum trading amount to nearly three times, according to a circular uploaded on the regulator’s website.
