BSE to discontinue stop loss market orders from Oct 9 to check freak trades (22-09-2023)
Leading stock exchange BSE has decided to discontinue Stop Loss Market (SL-M) orders from October 9 to prevent erroneous order placement arising out of manual or algo trades.
This came after a recent freak trade incident caused a lot of angst among the trading community earlier this month due to an SL-M order.
SL-M is a type of order that automatically sells or buys a security at the market price when the trigger price is reached.
"As a measure to prevent erroneous order placement, stop loss orders with market condition in equity segment, equity derivatives segment, currency derivatives segment, and commodity derivatives segment shall be discontinued by the exchange with effect from October 9," BSE said in a notice.
Welcoming the decision, Narendra Solanki, Head, Fundamental Research - Investment Services, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, said it is a good step to prevent erroneous orders and should prove beneficial to small and retail traders as such freak trades harm and cre
Analysts see $25 bn inflow on Indian G-Secs’ inclusion into JP Morgan index (22-09-2023)
Analysts expect the Wall Street major JP Morgan's decision to include the Indian government bonds in its global index from June next year will lead to a direct inflow of USD 20-25 billion in the country's debt market over 18-21 months.
JP Morgan, announcing the inclusion earlier in the day, said India will have a maximum weight of 10 per cent in the index eventually and around 8.7 per cent in the emerging market global index.
JP Morgan said in a statement on Friday that 73 per cent of investors are in favour the decision. The inclusion will be staggered over a 10-month period from June 28, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
"We estimate this implies direct inflows of USD 20-25 billion over the course of the next 18-21 months, but some front-loading of inflows cannot be discounted," Rahul Bajoria, managing director and head of emerging market Asia (ex-China) at Barclays, said in a note on Friday.
Japanese brokerage Nomura has pegged the inflows at USD 23.6 billion, which is 10 per cent of the
