Comparative study of historical in futures market of Indian banking industry * Dr. Asha Sharma Assistant Professor, Department of Management, Aravali Institute of Management, Jodhpur ** Prof. Amit Bhati Assistant Professor, Disha Institute of Management and Technology Disha Education Society, Raipur, Chattisgarh Abstract The stock market is one of the most important sources for companies to raise money. This allows businesses to be publicly traded, or raise additional capital for expansion by selling shares of ownership of the company in a public market. The liquidity that an exchange provides affords investors the ability to quickly and easily sell securities. This is an attractive feature of investing in stocks, compared to other less liquid investments such as real estate. History has shown that the price of shares and other assets is an important part of the dynamics of economic activity, and can influence or be an indicator of social mood. An economy where the stock market is on the rise is considered to be an up and coming economy. In fact, the stock market is often considered the primary indicator of a country's economic strength and development. Purpose of this research is to analyse the trend of the NSE stock futures and to study the impact of fluctuations in the spot stock market on the stock futures market of five different banks. The study may assist the investors to understand the impact of fluctuations in the spot stock market on the stock futures market and thus can take the decision. Keywords: Stock market, spot stock price, future stock price,, NSE stock future, banking industry www.exclusivemba.com/ijemr 1

Introduction A stock market is a public market for the trading of company stock and derivatives at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately. The size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion US at the beginning of October 2008. The total world derivatives market has been estimated at about $791 trillion face or nominal value, 11 times the size of the entire world economy. The stocks are listed and traded on stock exchanges which are entities a corporation or mutual organization specialized in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of the organizations to a listing of stocks and securities together. Rising share prices, for instance, tend to be associated with increased business investment and vice versa. Share prices also affect the wealth of households and their consumption. Therefore, central banks tend to keep an eye on the control and behavior of the stock market and, in general, on the smooth operation of financial system function. As a concept, is simple and intuitive. It measures variability or dispersion about a central tendency. To be more meaningful, it is a measure of how far the current price of an asset deviates from its average past prices. Greater this deviation, greater is the. At a more fundamental level, can indicate the strength or conviction behind a price move. Review of literature Markets have remained an active topic of analytic and empirical interest. Questions pertaining to the impact of derivative trading on cash market have been empirically addressed in two ways: by comparing cash market volatilities during the preand post-futures/ options trading eras and second, by evaluating the impact of options and futures trading (generally proxied by trading volume) on the behaviour of cash markets. The literature is, however, inconclusive on whether introduction of derivative products lead to an increase or decrease in the spot market. various researchers argues that the introduction of futures trading increases the spot market and thereby, destabilizes the market (Cox 1976; Figlewski 1981; Stein, 1987). Others argue that the introduction of futures actually reduces the spot market and thereby, stabilises the market (Powers, 1970; Schwarz and Laatsch, 1991 etc.). some researchers were of view that not only depends on derivative instruments but also it is affected by various other factors. There are two main hypotheses to explain hedging. They are: (i) Destabilizing force hypothesis; and (ii) Market completion force / Non-destabilization hypothesis. Destabilizing force hypothesis propounds that derivatives market attracts highly levered and speculative participants due to lower trading costs, which creates artificial price bubbles and increases in spot market. Market completion force / no destabilization hypothesis states that introduction of derivatives complements the spot market and improves information flow resulting in better investment choices for investors. It may bring more private information to the market and disseminate the same faster. Some studies suggest a possibility of speculators moving to derivatives market from spot market due to lower transaction costs and other benefits like cash settlement. This may lead to reduction in. www.exclusivemba.com/ijemr 2

About the banking industry The growth in the Indian Banking Industry has been more qualitative than quantitative and it is expected to remain the same in the coming years. Based on the projections made in the "India Vision 2020" prepared by the Planning Commission and the Draft 10th Plan, the report forecasts that the pace of expansion in the balance-sheets of banks is likely to decelerate. The Indian Banking Industry can be categorized into non-scheduled banks and scheduled banks. Scheduled banks constitute of commercial banks and co-operative banks. There are about 67,000 branches of Scheduled banks spread across India. As far as the present scenario is concerned the Banking Industry in India is going through a transitional phase. The Public Sector Banks(PSBs), which are the base of the Banking sector in India account for more than 78 per cent of the total banking industry assets. Unfortunately they are burdened with excessive Non Performing assets (NPAs), massive manpower and lack of modern technology. On the other hand the Private Sector Banks are making tremendous progress. They are leaders in Internet banking, mobile banking, phone banking, ATMs. As far as foreign banks are concerned they are likely to succeed in the Indian Banking Industry. Company Profile ICICI:- ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000.
