From a policy perspective, the Jane Street saga in India brings many questions to the fore about market development.
Participants in India have moved into convex (read options) products at the expense of a deeper and more liquid cash market
The reason Jane’s Street strategy was ostensibly so effective is due to the discrepancy between cash market and options volume. In essence, the alleged manipulation is facilitated by the volume mismatch between the two markets.
You may ask, why is that the case?
1) In 2018, SEBI mandated physical settlement in futures. Remember futures are linear in pay-off without the convexity of options. Previously futures were trading multiples of the cash market. Most retailers have long been familiar with the simplicity of the pay-off here (re: the old badla system)
2) As SEBI acknowledges, intra-day cash trading is not allowed by foreign institutions. In other markets, there are many family offices, prop shops and hedge funds that trade intra-day with non HFT strategies. They can bridge (arbitrage) inefficiency.
3) The SLB (Securities Lending & Borrowing) market is not deep, and there are several hurdles to creating a deep borrow pool. This would add to the counterbalance to deliberate stock market ramps in the cash market.
4) Intra-day cash leverage was significantly curtailed after SEBI’s 2019 circular, which limited intra-day leverage in cash markets on transactions. This again is a deterrent to such manipulation discussed.
5) In 2020, SEBI reduced margin requirements on options spreads. This was not a bad thing per se, but crimping cash volume in favour of options seems an interesting policy choice.
Of course, High Frequency Trading (HFT) manipulation is a problem and enforcement action should proceed whether it goes, but this saga should also be a wake-up call for promoting, both in absolute and relative terms, a deeper and more diverse cash market.
A true story
There were two boys and a girl. First boy was in college and second boy was in high school.
Both the boys were in love with the girl but she preferred dating the younger one.
Many elders in the village thought that young chap was too young and he shouldn’t be dating her, so they encouraged her to date older boy.
Listening to the constant whispers from the elders In the last 12 months, the girl almost decided to date the older boy but in the last minute, ditched the older boy and came back to the younger one.
Now, for the third time, elders in the village are trying to influence the girl to stop dating the younger one and start hanging out with the older boy.
By Christmas time, you will get to see who would be dating whom!
Oops, I forgot to tell their names
Older boy - Large Caps
Younger boy - Small caps
Girl - Funds
Elders in the village - Value investors
