The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is implementing new regulations aimed at curbing speculation in the futures and options (F&O) market and addressing the lack of a link between the cash market and the derivatives market. SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch indicated that the regulator might consider removing certain derivative products based on recommendations from an expert committee. These measures, which include restrictions on F&O trading, could significantly impact discount brokers' revenue streams. Additionally, SEBI is introducing norms to regulate financial influencers, which could affect market dynamics. Experts believe these changes will promote a vibrant financial market while maintaining a level playing field. Anant Ladha of Invest Aaj For Kal detailed the key factors that will come to play.
