Rising Precious Metal Prices Lift Bullion-Linked Stocks

Gold and silver prices continued their upward trajectory, adding momentum to related capital market stocks such as MCX. On Monday, MCX gold futures for October delivery reached an all-time high of ₹1,05,937 per 10 grams, while silver futures for December delivery surged to ₹1,24,470 per kilogram.

NSE Revises Quantity Freeze Limits for Index Derivatives

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) implemented revised quantity freeze limits for key index derivatives contracts. Effective September 1, Bank Nifty futures and options now have a limit of 900 contracts, up from 600 previously. Nifty 50 and Finnifty limits remain at 1,800, while Nifty Midcap Select is set at 2,800, and Nifty Next 50 at 600.

This adjustment allows for larger trades in Bank Nifty contracts without triggering trading freezes, potentially contributing to increased liquidity and investor activity in related capital market stocks.

Anand Rathi shares, for instance, saw nearly 3 lakh shares traded within the first two hours, roughly three times their 10-day average volume. On the day, MCX and Anand Rathi Wealth gained around 5% & 3.98% respectively, while BSE and KFin Tech shares rose nearly 4%. Other notable movers included Motilal Oswal Financial Services (+4%), CDSL and CAMS (+3%), and NSDL (+3%).

Conclusion

Overall, the combination of positive macro data, rising bullion prices, revised trading rules, and value buying contributed to a broad rally in capital market stocks on Monday, restoring investor confidence in the sector after a brief spell of weakness
