BSE Ltd (NSE: BSE) is trading near ₹2,614 after dropping nearly 20% from its all-time high of ₹3,251, reached earlier this month. The stock has lost momentum over the last two weeks, pressured by the expiry rule shift and fresh uncertainty surrounding the U.S. Federal Reserve’s stance
As of 9:57 a.m. IST, BSE Ltd was trading at ₹2,614, extending its recent decline and reflecting the broader cautious sentiment across Indian equity markets.
The real pressure, however, is coming from global cues. The Fed left interest rates unchanged for a sixth consecutive time, but what unsettled markets was Powell’s tone, more uncertain than usual.
We really don’t know what happens next,”
Said Powell
Flagging the risk of tariff-driven inflation over the summer, tied to President Trump’s trade stance. That uncertainty has pushed global equities into wait-and-see mode and BSE wasn’t spared.
SEBI’s recent move to shift weekly derivatives expiry from Tuesday to Thursday has taken the edge off BSE’s volume game. With NSE now claiming Tuesday as its expiry day, analysts expect a meaningful shift in F&O activity right as BSE had been gaining traction.

Conclusion
BSE stock is no longer in breakout mode, it’s in a cooling phase. A 20% slide from the top isn’t panic-inducing on its own, but in combination with a regulatory blow and global uncertainty, traders are clearly rotating out.
