Reliance Petro Out of F & O Ban

Reliance Petro has come down below 80% of the F & O Limit and is out of Ban for November Series. Interestingly, Reliance has made 4% stake sale ( 18 Crore Shares) of Reliance Petro on Friday, for a sum of 4023 crores rupees to Institutional investors which works out to 223 Rs per share.

I had said in my comments on Friday to watch out for RPL in coming days as it was about to get out of F & O ban. Now see where the stock opens on Monday and how it zooms......

GMR Infra is now in F & O ban and so the stock should be subdued till it comes out of the F & O ban or till the December series starts on Friday.

Hi Sarvanan,

F & O is futures and options where a select set of stocks are traded. Unlike Equity, stocks bought in F & O are settled at every last thursday of the month. Each Stock traded has a fixed lot size and one needs to buy or sell in lot sizes. For example Rel Petro has lot size of 3350 shares.

The exchange also puts a limit on number of contracts that can be traded in F & O for each stock based on the availability of shares in equity.

Once 95% of limit is reached for a stock in futures, no fresh trades will be allowed. The stock is banned for further trades till the limit comes down to 80% or below again.

When a stock is banned in F & O, it gets stagnant or some profit booking is seen and this effects its price in equity as prices for a stock in equity and F & O follow one another.

It is difficult to explain F & O through my precise comments but I hope you get something on this :)
