BSE Ltd Sees 5,620 Active Put Options at Rs 2,400 Strike Amid Market Challenges

BSE Ltd, a prominent player in the capital markets sector, has emerged as one of the most active stocks today, particularly in the options market. The company’s put options, set to expire on July 31, 2025, have seen significant trading activity, with 5,620 contracts exchanged at a turnover of approximately Rs 2,183.49 lakhs. The strike price for these puts is set at Rs 2,400, while the underlying stock value stands at Rs 2,397.
Despite this activity, BSE Ltd has underperformed its sector by 2.3% today, reflecting a one-day return of -2.77%, compared to the sector's -0.72% and the Sensex's -0.51%. The stock's performance is characterized by mixed moving averages; it is currently above the 100-day and 200-day moving averages but below the 5-day, 20-day, and 50-day averages.

Investor participation appears to be declining, with delivery volume dropping by 39.72% against the 5-day average, totaling 17.2 lakhs. However, the stock maintains adequate liquidity, with trading volume representing 2% of the 5-day average traded value, allowing for a trade size of Rs 48.6 crores.

In summary, while BSE Ltd's put options are actively traded, the stock's overall performance today reflects broader market challenges and a notable decrease in investor engagement.
