Leading stock exchange NSE today said it has recorded one of the highest trading volumes -- Rs 20,442.55 crore in its equity segment and Rs 3.77 lakh crore in the equity derivatives trading.
In contrast, volume on the BSE was just Rs 2,585.81 crore in the cash segment, while trading volume logged Rs 20,501.50 crore in 'Futures and Options' category.
Bank Nifty derivatives on the NSE recorded their highest volumes at Rs 40,630 crore. Of these, Nifty options stood at Rs 33,902 crore.
NSE bond futures (interest rate futures) had witnessed volumes of Rs 1,785.47 crore, highest volumes since its launch in January this year.
Various factors such as expiry of the derivative contract tomorrow and some movement in yields and activity as the financial year is ending on March 31, could be possible reasons for surge in trading volumes in futures.
