Sensex Weekly Expiry: Stocks Under F&O Ban

Ahead of the Sensex weekly expiry on Thursday, February 12, 2025, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has placed SAIL and Sammaan Capital under the F&O trading ban.

On February 11, 2025, SAIL shares closed 0.62% up at ₹162.00, after touching the day high of ₹162.90 on the BSE.

What is Sensex Weekly Expiry?

Sensex options contracts expire every Thursday. If Thursday falls on a trading holiday, the expiry is advanced to the preceding trading day.

Settlement takes place at the regular market closing time unless the exchange specifies otherwise. Likewise, if the final Thursday of an expiry cycle is a holiday, all securities in that series expire on the previous trading session.

Conclusion

The addition of SAIL and Sammaan Capital to the F&O ban reflects heightened derivatives activity ahead of the weekly expiry. Although broader market sentiment remains muted amid geopolitical tensions, market participants should keep a close watch on position limits and stock-specific price action in the upcoming sessions.
