Chaos in Market
Today at one point of time there was chaos in market as well as in the minds of traders as Nifty's day low is 4888!!. Here is the news reported by www.moneycontrol.com
The National Stock Exchange index Nifty
crashed 800 points this morning, halting the trade, which the bourse blamed on
erroneous orders worth Rs 650 crore by a broker Emkay Global for one of its
clients.
The NSE said it is investigating the matter and the abnormal orders
that resulted in multiple trades at low prices. In a statement after the
incident, which halted the trade in cash markets for about 15 minutes, NSE
said, "The market circuit filter got triggered due to entry of 59
erroneous orders which resulted in multiple trades for an aggregate value of
over Rs 650 crore. "These orders have been entered by a trading member
Emkay Global Financial Services on behalf of an institutional client.
"These non-algo market orders have been entered for an erroneous quantity
which resulted in executing trades at multiple price points across the entire
order book thereby causing the circuit filter to be triggered. These orders
have been identified to a specific dealer terminal," it added. On the
other hand, BSE said the market at the exchange was working fine and there were
no technical or other issues at the bourse. However, the BSE index Sensex
also fell by about 200 points in reaction to the plunge in Nifty, as there are
many common stocks on the two indices.
The incident occurred on a day when
expectations were high for a sharp upward rally on the bourses following
various reform measures approved by the Union Cabinet last evening, including
on FDI in insurance and pension sectors. At 1220 hours, the markets recovered
some lost ground and Sensex was trading 177 points down at 18,880.98 points.
The Nifty was down 58.35 points at 5,729.25 points. Earlier in the morning,
Nifty had fallen sharply by about 800 points or 16 per cent to a low of
4,997.6.
