On December 8, 2025, the Nifty 50 ended at 25,960.55, down 225.90 points (0.86%), while the BSE Sensex finished at 85,102.69, declining 609.68 points (0.71%).
The Nifty’s weekly derivatives contracts are scheduled to expire on Tuesday, December 9, 2025. Weekly expiries often see tighter regulatory measures and position monitoring as open interest accumulates toward expiry.
Ahead of the Nifty’s weekly expiry, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has placed three stocks under the Futures & Options (F&O) trading ban:
The ban is triggered when the open interest in a stock’s derivatives contracts exceeds 95% of the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL). While new derivative positions cannot be initiated, the stocks remain available for trading in the cash segment.
As on December 8, 2025, Bandhan Bank (NSE: BANDHANBNK) closed at ₹135.47, lower than the previous close of ₹140.08.
Kaynes Technology (NSE: KAYNES) recorded a sharp decline on December 8, closing at ₹3,807.00, down from the previous close of ₹4,353.50.
Sammaan Capital (NSE: SAMMAANCAP) ended the session at ₹141.43, lower than the previous close of ₹148.32.
A stock enters the F&O ban list when its open interest exceeds 95% of the MWPL. This measure helps maintain orderly trading conditions and limit excessive speculative activity.
During the ban period:
This mechanism supports market discipline, particularly during expiry weeks when volatility tends to rise.
Nifty 50 Futures & Options contracts typically expire every Tuesday. If the scheduled expiry coincides with a holiday, the expiry is shifted to the previous trading session. Contracts are settled based on the closing prices on expiry day.
On trading platforms, weekly contracts may sometimes appear under the 'monthly' section due to technical grouping, though this does not affect contract terms.
