The action today by SEBI goes in line with what you covered on your show, six days back. Off-course, SEBI has its own advanced mechanism to monitor wrongful trades and they have published it today, but Anuj did it LIVE on television within couple of minutes for the common viewers in the language they understand. SEBI says: (Source: @ShereenBhan) 1. Copthall allegedly pushed the Sensex higher through aggressive buy orders. How? 2. Copthall placed buy orders at 3% above the reference price across Sensex constituents Copthall (a single entity) accounted for: - 99.91% of buy-order value during the first Sensex spike, - 96.09% of buy-order value during the second spike Copthall later cancelled buy orders worth around ₹98.12 crore. 🚨 🗝️ Meanwhile 78,000 call option surged from 2 to 80 and the put collapsed from 166 to 0 in final minutes. What SEBI did? SEBI links the cash-market activity to the entities’ expiry-day Sensex options positions. (Meaning they would have traced 78,000 call open interest positions as well as 78,000 put options to Copthall). Well done. The question is, will this deter other participants from doing this in future and will this stand the appeal as all they did was within stipulated limits, but intentionally to distort closing.
