After Sebi tightens equity F&O trades, punters find new casino
The Economic Times
As Indian equity markets stall, traders are increasingly turning to commodity derivatives, particularly gold and silver, as a new investment avenue.Summary
With equity markets facing headwinds and regulatory tightening by Sebi on equity F&O trades, Indian traders are shifting their focus to commodity derivatives. Gold and silver, previously considered 'doomsday assets,' are experiencing record highs and attracting renewed interest. Brokers are adapting their products and revenue strategies to capitalize on this momentum. This shift is driven by the historical tendency of commodities to perform well when equities underperform, as noted by Jim Rogers, and a search for alternative investment opportunities amid global economic uncertainties and foreign investor exits from Indian equities.
