Nifty's value doesn't change suddenly at 3:30 pm, NSE clarifies amid CAS confusion

Nifty’s last-minute 200-point surge after the launch of the Closing Auction Session (CAS) sparked confusion among traders, prompting NSE to clarify the index calculation process. Introduced on August 3, CAS alters the method for determining closing prices for F&O stocks through an auction mechanism. The new system aims to improve price discovery and reduce last-minute price impact.
