ABSTRACT:
The paper examines the impact of stock futures on spot market volatility, i.e.,
Nifty. There are two contradicting schools of thoughts with regards to this: one,
which advocates that the derivatives product has impact on spot market volatility,
while the other, which apposes this. Ever since the introduction of stock futures in
various market all over the world, numerous studies have been carried out upon
the effects of futures listing on underlying cash market volatility.
In India, stock futures trading were started by the National Stock Exchange
with a view to bring stability in the market for commodities and to keep a check
on the spiraling prices of shares. The underlying research work aims at finding out
impact of stock futures on the spot market volatility or whether after introduction
of stock futures have fluctuated drastically compared to before the introduction of
stock futures.
For the purpose of determining the above, the spot prices two years prior
the introduction of futures and two year prices after introduction of futures were
obtained from the National Stock Exchange website. The log natural was
calculated on the collected data and subsequently Augmented Dickey Fuller Test
of Stationarity was used to conduct the test of stationarity on the calculated log
natural. Subsequently standard deviations prior and after the introduction of
futures was calculated and the values were subjected to an F-test. Based on the
results of the above we were able to conclude that there is no impact of stock
futures on the volatility of spot market (CNX Nifty).
Also during the course of the literature review various information about
the stock futures were identified i.e. advantages of futures trading, trading, history
of futures trading, technical terminologies and about National Stock exchanges
was learnt during the course of review of the literature.
Chapter-1
The Indian capital market has witnessed radical changes, especially during the last
decade. Having discarded the age old practices like open outcry trading system,
physical form of shares and new settlement procedure, and others, the markets are
now operating with world class practices and products. The reforms in the capital
markets have helped to improve efficiency in many aspects namely, the
dissemination of information, transparency in operations, prohibiting unfair trade
practices.
The most certain thing about the markets is uncertainty, which leads to
risk. One such risk is financial risk, due to the changes in stock market prices. To
manage such risks, financial instruments, known as financial derivatives, have
been developed and introduced into the Indian capital markets as well as across
the globe, over a period of time. Based on the recommendations of L.C. Gupta
Committee, SEBI permitted the stock exchanges viz., BSE and NSE in India to
introduce financial derivatives in June 2000. The first product was futures on
indices followed by options on indices, individual stock options and futures.
The term derivative implies that it has no independent value. Its value is
derived from the value of the other asset. According to the L.C. Gupta
Committee’s Report, derivatives means a forward future or option contract for a
predetermined fixed duration, linked for the purpose of contract fulfillment to
value of specified real or financial asset or to an index security.
contract is introduced on the next trading day following the expiry of the near
month contract.
The impact of derivatives on the cash market volatility is a much debated and
widely studied research topic. Ever since the Chicago Board of Trade introduced
the commodity futures in 1865, various markets have been studied at different
time periods. The concern over how trading in index futures and options affect the
spot market has been an interesting subject for investors, academicians, regulators
and exchanges. Financial derivatives were introduced in India, mainly as a risk
management tool for both institutional and retail investors. The two main
functions of derivative market are: Price discovery and hedging. The available
literature offers two different kinds of arguments. Some authors like Gupta and
Kumar, Golaka C Nath found that the overall volatility of the underlying stock
market was reduced after introduction of derivative contracts on indices in India.
The other side of the argument is that the volatility of the spot market could
The results of this study are crucial to investors, stock exchange officials
and regulators. Derivatives play a very important role in the price discovery
process and in completing the market. Their role in risk management for
institutional investors and mutual fund managers need hardly be overemphasized.
This role as a tool for risk management clearly assumes that derivatives trading do
not increase market volatility and risk. The results of this study will throw some
light on the effects of derivative introduction on the efficiency and volatility of the
underlying cash markets.
Chapter-2
The introduction of equity index futures markets enables traders to transact large
volumes at much lower transaction costs relative to the cash market. The
consequence of this increase in order flow to futures markets is unresolved on
both a theoretical and an empirical front. Stein (1987) develops a model in which
prices are determined by the interaction between hedgers and informed
speculators. In this model, opening a futures market has two effects; (1). The
futures market improves risk sharing and therefore reduces price volatility, and
(2). If the speculators observe a noisy but informative signal, the hedgers react to
the noise in the speculative trades, producing an increase in volatility.
INTRODUCTION
The introduction of equity and equity index derivative contracts in Indian market
has not been very old but today the total notional trading values in derivatives
contracts are much ahead of cash market. On many occasions, the derivatives
notional trading values are double the cash market trading values. Given such
dramatic changes, we would like to study the behavior of volatility in cash market
after the introduction of derivatives. Impact of derivatives trading on the volatility
of the cash market in India has been studied by Thenmozhi (2002),
Shenbagaraman (2003), Gupta and Kumar (2002) . Gupta and Kumar (2002) did
find that the overall volatility of underlying market declined after introduction of
derivatives contracts on indices. Thenmozhi (2002) reported lower level volatility
in cash market after introduction of derivative contracts. Shenbagaraman (2003)
reported that there was no significant fall in cash market volatility due to
introduction of derivatives contracts in Indian market. Raju and Karande (2003)
reported a decline in volatility of the cash market after derivatives introduction in
Indian market. All these studies have been done using the market index and not
individual stocks. These studies were conducted using data for a smaller period
and when the notional trading volume in the market was not significant and before
tremendous success of futures on individual stocks. Today derivatives market in
India is more successful and we have more than 3 years of derivatives market.
Hence the present study would use the longer period of data to study the behavior
of volatility in the market after derivatives was introduced. The study would use
indices as well as individual stocks for analysis.
METHODOLOGY
This study uses the daily stock market data from January 1999 (for IGARCH data
used is from January 1998) to October 2003. Thus the daily returns are calculated
using the following equation:
Where Rt is the daily return, Pt is the value of the security on day t and Pt-1 is the
value of the security on day t-1.
Where R is the average return over the period. This study calculates the rolling
standard deviation for 1 year window as well as for a 6 month window to capture
the conditional dynamics. Next volatility is calculated using Risk Metrics method
with l = 0.94 (IGARCH) and the initial volatility was computed using one year
data from January 1998 to December 1998. Then we have used a GARCH model
to estimate the daily volatility. In the linear ARCH (q) model originally
introduced by Engle (1982), the conditional variance ht is postulated to be a linear
function of the past q squared innovations.
In empirical applications of ARCH (q) models a long lag length and a large
number of parameters are often called for. An alternative and more flexible lag
structure is often provided by the generalized ARCH, or GARCH (p, q) model
proposed independently by Bollerslev (1986) and Taylor (1986). In many
applications especially with daily frequency financial data the estimate for a1 +a2
+ ... +aq + b1 + b2 + ... + b p turns out to be very close to unity. Engle and
Bollerslev (1986) were the first to consider GARCH processes with a1 + a2 + ...
+a q + b1 + b2 + ... + b p = 1 as a distinct class of models, which they termed
integrated GARCH (IGARCH). In the IGARCH class of models a shock to the
conditional variance is persistent in the sense that it remains important for future
forecasts of all horizons.
The study uses two benchmark indices: S&P CNX NIFTY and S&P CNX NIFTY
JUNIOR along with selected few stocks for studying the volatility behavior during
the period January 1999 to October 2003. 20 stocks have been considered a from
the NIFTY and Junior NIFTY category. Out of the 20 stocks, 13 have single stock
futures and options while 7 do not have the same. Futures and options are
available on S&P CNX NIFTY but not on S&P CNX NIFTY Junior.
CONCLUSION
The paper studies the behavior of volatility in equity market in pre and post
derivatives period in India using static and conditional variance. Conditional
volatility has been modeled using four different method: GARCH(1,1), IGARCH
with l = 0.94, one year rolling window of standard deviation and a 6 month rolling
standard deviation. We have considered 20 stocks randomly from the NIFTY and
Junior NIFTY basket as well as benchmark indices itself. Also static point
volatility analysis has been used dividing the period under study among various
time buckets and justified the creation of such time buckets. While studying
conditional volatility it is observed that for most of the stocks, the volatility has
come down in the post derivative period while for only few stocks in the sample
(details are in Annexure II and III) the volatility in the post derivatives has either
remained more or less same or has increased marginally. All these methods
suggested that the volatility of the market as measured by benchmark indices like
S&P CNX NIFTY and S&P CNX NIFTY JUNIOR have fallen after in the post
derivatives period.
The finding is in line with the earlier findings of Thenmozhi (2002),
Shenbagaraman (2003), Gupta and Kumar (2002) and Raju and Karande (2003).
The earlier studies used shorter period of data and pre single stock futures and
options period data while we have used data for a longer period that has taken into
account various cyclical trends into consideration.
INTRODUCTION
The Indian capital market has witnessed a major transformation and structural
change during the past one decade or so as a result of on going financial sector
reforms initiated by the Government of India since 1991 in the wake of policies of
liberalization and globalization. The major objectives of these reforms have been
to improve market efficiency, enhancing transparency, checking unfair trade
practices, and bringing the Indian capital market up to international standards. As
a result of the reforms several changes have also taken place in the operations of
the secondary markets such as automated on-line trading in exchanges enabling
trading terminals of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock
Exchange (BSE) to be available across the country and making geographical
location of an exchange irrelevant; reduction in the settlement period, opening of
the stock markets to foreign portfolio investors etc. In addition to these
developments, India is perhaps one of the real emerging markets in South Asian
region that has introduced derivative products on two of its principal existing
exchanges viz., BSE and NSE in June 2000 to provide tools for risk management
to investors. There had, however, been a considerable debate on the question of
whether derivatives should be introduced in India or not. The L.C. Gupta
Committee on Derivatives, which examined the whole issue in details, had
recommended in December 1997 the introduction of stock index futures in the
first place (1). The preparation of regulatory framework for the operations of the
index futures contracts took another two and a half-year more as it required not
only an amendment in the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 but also the
specification of the regulations for such contracts. Finally, the Indian capital
market saw the launching of index futures on June 9, 2000 on BSE and on June
12, 2000 on the NSE. A year later options on index were also introduced for
trading on these exchanges. Later, stock options on individual stocks were
launched in July 2001. The latest product to enter in to the derivative segment on
these exchanges is contracts on stock futures in November 2001. Thus, with the
launch of stock futures, the basic range of equity derivative products in India
The Data
The data employed in the study consists of daily prices of two major stock market
indices viz., the S&P CNX Nifty Index (henceforth Nifty Index) and the BSE
Sensex (BSE Index) for a four year period from June 8, 1998 to June 30, 2002.
For each of these indices four sets of prices were used. These were daily high,
low, open, and close prices. Likewise, daily high, low, open, and close prices were
used from June 9, 2000 to March 31, 2002 for the BSE Index Futures (7) and from
June 12, 2000 to June 30, 2001 for the Nifty Index Futures. The necessary data
have from collected from the Derivative Segments of both of these exchanges.
CONCLUSIONS
This paper has been aimed at examining the impact of index futures introduction
on stock market volatility. Further, it has also examined the relative volatility of
spot market and futures market. The study utilized daily price data (high, low,
open and close) for BSE Sensex and S&P CNX Nifty Index from June 1998 to
June 2002. Similar data from June 9, 2000 to March 31, 2002 have also been used
for BSE Index Futures and from June 12, 2000 to June 30, 2002 for the Nifty
Index Futures. The study has used four measures of volatility: (a) the first is based
upon close-to-close prices, (b) the second is based upon open-to-open prices, (c)
the third is Parkinson’s Extreme Value Estimator, and (d) the fourth is Garman-
Klass measure volatility (GKV).
The empirical results reported here indicate that the over-all volatility of the
underlying stock market has declined after the introduction of index futures on
both the indices in terms of all the three measures i.e. ln (Ct/Ct-1) ln (Ot/Ot-1) and
ln (Ht/Lt). It must, however, be noted that since the introduction of index futures
the Indian stock market has witnessed several changes in its market micro-
structure such as the abolition of the traditional `badla system, reduction in the
trading cycle etc. Therefore, these results should be interpreted in the light of
these changes. However, there is no conclusive evidence, which suggests that, the
INTRODUCTION
In the last decade, many emerging and transition economies have started
introducing derivative contracts. As was the case when commodity futures were
first introduced on the Chicago Board of Trade in 1865, policymakers and
regulators in these markets are concerned about the impact of futures on the
underlying cash market. One of the reasons for this concern is the belief that
futures trading attract speculators who then destabilize spot prices. This concern is
evident in the following excerpt from an article by John Stuart Mill (1871):
This paper seeks to contribute to the existing literature in many ways. This is the
first study to examine the impact of financial derivatives introduction on cash
market volatility in an emerging market, India. Further, this study improves upon
the methodology used in prior studies by using a framework that allows for
generalized auto-regressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) i.e., it
explicitly models the volatility process over time, rather than using estimated
standard deviations to measure volatility. This estimation technique enables us to
explore the link between information/news arrival in the market and its effect on
cash market volatility. The study also looks at the linkages in ongoing trading
activity in the futures market with the underlying spot market volatility by
decomposing trading volume and open interest into an expected component and
an unexpected (surprise) component. Finally this is the first study to our
knowledge that looks at the effects of both stock index futures introduction as well
as stock index options introduction on the underlying cash market volatility. The
results of this study are crucial to investors, stock exchange officials and
regulators. Derivatives play a very important role in the price discovery process
and in completing the market. Their role in risk management for institutional
investors and mutual fund managers need hardly be overemphasized. This role as
a tool for risk management clearly assumes that derivatives trading do not increase
market volatility and risk. The results of this study will throw some light on the
effects of derivative introduction on the efficiency and volatility of the underlying
cash markets.
METHODOLOGY
One of the key assumptions of the ordinary regression model is that the errors
have the same variance throughout the sample. This is also called the
homoskedasticity model. If the error variance is not constant, the data are said to
be heteroskedastic. Since ordinary least-squares regression assumes constant error
variance, heteroskedasticity causes the OLS estimates to be inefficient. Models
that take into account the changing variance can make more efficient use of the
data. There are several approaches to dealing with heteroskedasticity. If the error
variance at different times is known, weighted regression is a good method. If, as
is usually the case, the error variance is unknown and must be estimated from the
data, one can model the changing error variance. In the past, studies of volatility
have used constructed volatility measures like estimated standard deviations,
rolling standard deviations, etc, to discern the effect of futures introduction. These
studies implicitly assume that price changes in spot markets are serially
uncorrelated and homoskedastic. However, findings of heteroskedasticity in stock
returns are well documented (Mandelbrot 1963), Fama (1965), Bollerslev (1986).
Thus the observed differences in variances from models assuming
homoskedasticity may simply be due to the effect of return dependence and not
necessarily due to futures introduction. The GARCH model assumes conditional
heteroscedasticity, with homoskedastic unconditional error variance. That is, the
model assumes that the changes in variance are a function of the realizations of
preceding errors and that these changes represent temporary and random
departures from a constant unconditional variance, as might be the case when
using daily data. The advantage of a GARCH model is that it captures the
tendency in financial data for volatility clustering. It therefore enables us to make
the connection between information and volatility explicit, since any change in the
rate of information arrival to the market will change the volatility in the market.
Thus, unless information remains constant, which is hardly the case, volatility
must be time varying, even on a daily basis.
The impact of stock index futures and option contract introduction in the Indian
market is examined using a unvaried GARCH (1, 1) model. The time series of
daily returns on the S&P CNX Nifty Index is modeled as a univariate GARCH
process. Following Pagan and Schwert (1990) and Engle and Ng (1993), we need
to remove from the time series any predictability associated with lagged world
returns and/or day of the week effects. Further, it is required to control for the
effect of market wide factors, since one is interested in isolating the unique impact
of the introduction of the futures/options contracts. Fortunately for the Indian
stock market there is an index, the Nifty Junior, which comprises stocks for which
no futures contracts are traded. As such, it serves as a perfect control variable for
us to isolate market wide factors and thereby concentrate on the residual volatility
in the Nifty as a direct result of the introduction of the index derivative contracts.
Therefore the study introduces the return on the Nifty Junior index as an
additional independent variable
CONCLUSION
In this study one has examined the effects of the introduction of the Nifty futures
and options contracts on the underlying spot market volatility using a model that
captures the heteroskedasticity in returns that characterize stock market returns.
The results indicate that derivatives introduction has had no significant impact on
spot market volatility. This result is robust to different model specifications.
However, futures introduction seems to have changed the sensitivity of nifty
returns to the S&P500 returns. Also, the day-of-the week effects seem to have
dissipated after futures introduction.
Later the model is estimated separately for the pre and post futures period and
finds that the nature of the GARCH process has changed after the introduction of
the futures trading. Pre-futures, the effect of information was persistent over time,
i.e. a shock to today’s volatility due to some information that arrived in the market
today, has an effect on tomorrow’s volatility and the volatility for days to come.
After futures contracts started trading the persistence has disappeared. Thus any
shock to volatility today has no effect on tomorrow’s volatility or on volatility in
the future. This might suggest increased market efficiency, since all information is
incorporated into prices immediately.
Next, using a procedure inspired by Bessembinder and Sequin (1992), it is found
that after the introduction of futures trading, one is unable to pick up any link
between the volume of futures contracts traded and the volatility in the spot
market.
The most certain thing about the markets is uncertainty, which leads to
risk. One such risk is financial risk, due to the changes in stock market prices. To
manage such risks, financial instruments, known as financial derivatives, have
been developed and introduced into the Indian capital markets as well as across
the globe, over a period of time. Based on the recommendations of L.C. Gupta
Committee, SEBI permitted the stock exchanges viz., BSF and NSE in India to
introduce financial derivatives in June 2000. The first product was futures on
indices followed by options on indices, individual stock options and futures.
The term derivative implies that it has no independent value. Its value is
derived from the value of the other asset. According to the L.C. Gupta
Committee’s Report, derivatives means a forward future or option contract for a
predetermined fixed duration, linked for the purpose of contract fulfillment to
value of specified real or financial asset or to an index security.
Kumar, Golaka C Nath found that the overall volatility of the underlying stock
market was reduced after introduction of derivative contracts on indices in India.
The other side of the argument is that the volatility of the spot market could
increase with the derivatives products because of speculation and arbitrage
strategies.
The results of this study are crucial to investors, stock exchange officials
and regulators. Derivatives play a very important role in the price discovery
process and in completing the market. Their role in risk management for
institutional investors and mutual fund managers need hardly be overemphasized.
This role as a tool for risk management clearly assumes that derivatives trading do
not increase market volatility and risk. The results of this study will throw some
light on the effects of derivative introduction on the efficiency and volatility of the
underlying cash markets.
Methodology
The study is carried out using ordinary linear regression. The impact of the
introduction of derivative products on the volatility of Nifty-—the spot market
under study—is determined by comparing its volatility before and after the
introduction of derivative products. This can be done by calculating the
descriptive statistics, after eliminating the effect of various factors. For instance,
to nullify the effect of various market-wide factors, Nifty 500 taken into account,
which is a broad-based index for the Indian capital market; similarly to eliminate
the yesterday’s impact on the today’s market, Lag Nifty has also been included in
the regression equation. In this study, the Nifty volatility is regressed with Nifty
500, Lag Nifty and a dummy variable. The dummy variable assumes the value of
1’ for the post-derivative products period and 0’ for the pre-derivative products
period. The sign of the dummy coefficient signifies a fall or rise in the volatility
with the inception of derivative products. The data has been analyzed using
Hypothesis
H0: Derivative products like index futures, index options, stock options and stock
futures
influence the underlying spot market volatility, i.e., Nifty.
H1: Derivative products like index futures, index options, stock options and stock
futures do not influence the underlying spot market volatility, i.e., Nifty.
Conclusion
This study has examined the impact of index futures, index options, stock option
and stock futures on the volatility of Nifty. A regression analysis has been done to
examine the changes in volatility with the help of dummy variables. The
coefficients of the dummy variables are positive, indicating that Nifty volatility
has increased with the introduction of the above- mentioned derivative products
such as index futures, index options, stock options and stock futures. This may be
due to the speculative operations and the FII’s active participation in the market.
The market players might have been attracted to the futures and options segment,
because of low transaction costs and the leverage advantage available in the
market. Index trading may not be blamed for the volatility in the spot market
because, in an excessively volatile cash market, the fear among investors
motivates them to engage in more hedging activities in the future market, which in
turn leads to volatility.
CHATER-III
In the last decade, many emerging and transition economies have started
introducing the derivatives contracts. As was the case when commodity trading
were first introduced on Chicago Board of Trading in 1865, policy makers and
regulators were worried about impact of future on the underlying cash market.
One of the reason for this concern was futures trading attracts speculators who
then destabilize the spot market. In India too, Stock Future were introduced
during November 2001 with the purpose of offering the investors a hedging tool
to minimize their risk aroused mixed feeling amongst the inventors. The general
belief was, after the introduction Stock Future the market has become more
volatile. Implying there is more return at the cost of more risk. The purpose of this
study is to test the impact of index futures on spot market volatility.
The scope of the study is to find out: Whether the introduction of stock futures
reduces stock market volatility. The Study does not intend to find out whether
changes any other international markets affected the market during the same
period.
3.4 DATA
The nature of the data for the above study will be a time series secondary data
showing heteroskedastic nature.
The data employed in the study consists of daily closing prices of 40 stocks traded
on the CNX Nifty. These data will be collected from National Stock Exchange
website.
Rt = LN (Pt/Pt-1)*100
Where Rt is the daily return, Pt is the value of the security on day t and Pt-1 is the
value of the security on day t-1.
Theory of Stationarity:
Following are different ways of thinking about whether a time series variable Xt is
stationary or has a unit root:
¾ In the AR (1) model, if F=1, then X has a unit root. If |F| <1 then X is
stationary.
¾ If X has a unit root, then its autocorrelations will be near one and will not
drop much as a lag length increases.
¾ If X has a unit root, then it will have a long memory. Stationary time series
do not have long memory.
¾ If X has a unit root then the series will exhibit trend behavior.
¾ If X has a unit root, then DX will be stationary. For this reason, series with
unit root are often referred to as difference stationary series.
¾ The stationarity condition of the data series used in the study has been
tested using Augmented Dickey Fuller Test.
Where μ is a constant, β the coefficient on a time trend and p the lag order of the
autoregressive process. Imposing the constraints μ = 0 and β = 0 corresponds to
modeling a random walk and using the constraint β = 0 corresponds to modeling a
random walk with a drift. By including lags of the order p the ADF formulation
allows for higher-order autoregressive processes. This means that the lag length p
has to be determined when applying the test. One possible approach is to test
down from high orders and examine the t-values on coefficients.
The unit root test is then carried out under the null hypothesis γ = 0 against the
alternative hypothesis of γ < 0. Once a value for the test statistic computed it can
be compared to the relevant critical value for the Dickey-Fuller Test. If the test
statistic is less than the critical value then the null hypothesis of γ = 0 is rejected
and no unit root is present.
The standard deviation of Log Natural returns is calculated using the following
methods:
3.6.4 F- TEST:
1) Log Natural
2) Augmented Dickey Fuller Test (for stationarity)
3) Standard Deviation
4) F- Test
1) SPSS
2) E-VIEWS
3) EXCEL SPREADSHEET
EMPIRICAL RESULTS
Daily closing prices for 40 stocks of CNX Nifty were obtained from
www.nseindia.com over the period 9th Nov 1999 to 9th Nov 2003. The data
comprises 502 observations for each stock related to the period prior to the
introduction of Stock Future and the remaining 499 observations for each stock to
the period after the introduction of Stock Futures. Continuously compounded
percentage returns are estimated as the log price relative. That is for an index with
daily closing price Pt, its return Rt is defined as log (Pt/Pt-1). All the return series
(before and after introduction period) are subjected to Augmented Dickey Fuller
test. The data under consideration is stationary and unit root test doesn’t exist.
The tables below show the calculations of monthly standard deviation of all 40
companies for prior and after introduction of stock futures. Then the average of
standard deviation is calculated for prior and after introduction is calculated. The
F -test is computed on the average standard deviation. If the F-test value is less
than tabulated value, the null hypothesis is accepted which implies that the
introduction of stock futures has no impact on spot market volatility. It can be
observed from the graph that the Post- futures volatility is more compared to Pre-
future period. This broadly suggests that the introduction of stock futures has not
stabilized the spot market. The inference cannot be drawn from these figures
alone, as they are not supported by all statistical data.

F test 0.5323
Interpretation:
If F-Test value is above 2.08 tabulated value = Significant
If F-Test value is below 2.08 tabulated value = Non-significant
Since F-Test value is less than tabulated value, null hypothesis is accepted
and there is no impact of stock futures on volatility of spot market.
4.3 Interpretation:
The tables above show the calculations of monthly standard deviation of all 40
companies for prior and after introduction of stock futures. Then the average of
standard deviation is calculated for prior and after introduction. The F -test is
computed on the average standard deviation. If the F-test value is less than
tabulated value, the null hypothesis is accepted which implies that the introduction
of stock futures has no impact on spot market volatility.
CHAPTER-V
Conclusion:
The study was conducted to examine the impact of stock futures
on the spot market volatility of Nifty. F-test has been done to examine
the changes in volatility with the help of monthly standard deviations.
The F-test value is less than the tabulated value so the null hypothesis
has been accepted which emphasis on the fact that the introduction of
stock futures didn’t affected the spot market volatility of Nifty. Fourty
(40) companies are selected from CNX Nifty Index, in which 38
companies F-test value is less than tabulated value and 2 companies F-
test value is greater than the tabulated value, which is statistically
significant. From this we can infer that the there is no impact of
introduction of stock futures on spot market volatility.
The volatility of the market is influence by Index Future, Index
Option, Future option and other uncontrollable factors which lead to
the further research work.
