What is the Sensex Weekly Expiry?

The Sensex weekly expiry refers to the settlement of options contracts tied to the index every Tuesday. If Tuesday happens to be a trading holiday, the expiry is moved to the preceding session. This weekly cycle impacts trading activity and market volatility, especially near the close of the expiry day. Traders often adjust positions based on expiry movements, making it a significant day for derivatives participants.
