Leverage Bets Surge: MTF Book Hits Record ₹1.33 Trillion
28 Jun
Summary
- MTF book reached a record ₹1.33 trillion in June, third consecutive monthly rise.
- Investor sentiment improved due to easing West Asia tensions and falling oil prices.
- NSE dominates MTF segment with 96% market share; BSE shows strong year-on-year growth.
The Margin Trading Facility (MTF) book reached a record ₹1.33 trillion in June, its third consecutive monthly increase and a significant rise from previous months. This surge highlights a strong investor appetite for leverage bets, even amidst market fluctuations.
Investor sentiment has improved, partly due to easing geopolitical tensions in West Asia and a decline in oil prices. This positive outlook is expected to support capital market activity and further growth in the MTF book.
While the National Stock Exchange (NSE) continues to dominate the MTF segment with a 96% market share, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has also recorded strong year-on-year growth in this area.
However, the Reserve Bank of India's upcoming regulatory amendments, effective from July 1, could impact trading volumes and market activity. Analysts note that despite the elevated numbers, the MTF book's exposure is granular and diversified, mitigating concentration risk.
