Shares of Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd. (BSE) fell as much as 9% on Wednesday, March 5, in early morning trade after the National Stock Exchange (NSE) announced a change in the expiry day of its weekly and monthly contracts.

On Tuesday evening, March 4, NSE stated that Nifty weekly contracts, which currently expire on Thursdays, will now expire on Mondays. This change appears to have impacted investor sentiment, leading to a sharp decline in BSE’s stock price.
