What happened

SEBI, India's market regulator, has announced it will review the methodology used to calculate settlement prices for derivative contracts. This review is being triggered by the rollout of CAS — the details of which are not fully explained in the source. The source content is brief and does not provide specific details about what will change or when.

Why it matters

Settlement price methodology determines the final price used to close out derivative contracts — financial instruments that let people bet on or hedge against price movements of stocks, indices, or commodities. Changes here can affect how profits and losses are calculated for investors who trade in futures and options (F&O). However, the source article does not provide enough detail to confirm the exact impact.
