The National Stock Exchange (NSE) cash market turnover recorded a significant increase, reaching ₹27.7 lakh crore. This figure marks a 23-month high, up from the ₹26.9 lakh crore observed in May.While proprietary traders constitute the largest segment of cash market activity, their dominance slightly lessened this month. Their contribution accounted for 33% of the turnover, marking a six-month low. This trend indicates that participation is broadening beyond just professional trading firms.
Foreign Investors Lead Derivatives Segment Growth

This performance allows foreign investors to maintain the top position within this category for the third consecutive month.Domestic institutional investors also showed increased activity, contributing 13.8% of the market action. The increasing involvement of various investor categories is providing a solid foundation for continued market buoyancy.
Retail Participation Rises in Equity Options Market
A similar positive trend was evident within the equity options segment. Measured by premium turnover, proprietary traders' share slightly declined to 48%. Simultaneously, individual investors boosted their participation significantly, claiming a 39.3% share of the activity.This increase underscores the growing involvement and confidence among retail traders in the derivatives market.
