1. Can F&O price influence spot price? If so, how?
2. Why is physical delivery of stock made mandatory for stock F&O?

Had the same doubt… got it answered here by @nithin

Effects of futures & options trading on the underlying asset?

Hey guys! I have this question in my mind since quite a long time… Does trading in Futures & options of an index/equity has any affect on the underlying asset? Eg. If some HNI or FIIs go long on Nifty Futures or Nifty Call Options, will the value of underlying asset i.e. Nifty index have any affect (increase in this case?? Similarly if more people short any equity futures, eg. ITC FUT, will that reflect on the ITC cash market also? Please share your views…
