The company’s underlying stock is currently valued at Rs 7,475. Notably, two put options with expiry dates set for May 29, 2025, have garnered significant attention.

BSE Ltd recently reached a new 52-week and all-time high of Rs 7,549, outperforming its sector by 0.63%. The stock is currently trading above its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a strong upward trend. However, there has been a noticeable decline in investor participation, with delivery volume dropping by 35% compared to the 5-day average.

In summary, BSE Ltd's active options trading and recent performance metrics highlight its significant role in the capital markets, while the fluctuations in investor participation warrant attention.
