Price Discovery,Causality and Forecasting in Indian Futures Market

The issues of price discovery on spot and futures markets are topics of interest to traders, financial economists and analysts. Although spot and futures markets react to the same information, the major question is which market reacts first the spot or Futures .Theoretically speaking, when two markets for the same asset are faced with the same information arriving simultaneously, the two markets should react at the same time in a similar fashion. If the two markets do not react at the same time, one market will then lead the other. When such a lead-lag relation appears in case of price adjustments, the leading market is viewed as contributing a price discovery function for that sector. My research study is to analyze existence of prohibitive transactions costs or institutional barriers or incorrect trading strategies which could be impeding arbitrage between two markets and hindering efficient functioning of derivatives market. Understanding the behavior and price effects of futures and spot index trading in different world markets is of great significance to Brokerage houses, Investors and Portfolio Managers

"I am working closely with Dr. Rajesh for the past one year on one of our important Emiratization projects. He has deep knowledge in his subject, positive attitude and approach with the trainees. The first batch of the program we ran together proved to be one of the most successful initiatives we had in 2019. I truly appreciate working with him and I am happy to recommend his services."

Nikolay S.

Senior Manager Learning Curriculum, DIB

"There are very few people who have the fortune to meet someone who is a coach and a truly wonderful mentor at the same time, which is what I found in Rajesh Sir. I've had the fortune to be taught and guided by someone as qualified, encouraging and supportive as him. He made us push our boundaries and achieve things that we were too scared to even pursue. His expertise and knowledge of finance and audit is unparalleled. That, combined with his humility and modesty, is sure to inspire many. An asset to any organization, Rajesh Sir has my highest recommendation!"

Sudha Sattiraju

Data Product Owner @ HSBC | CFE, CAMS

"An excellent professional with vast knowledge of various financial markets and industry portfolios, especially with his expertise in Corporate restructuring, Mergers and Acquisitions and Financial Market management. I had the opportunity of learning from Dr. Rajesh during my MBA program at Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Dubai. The lessons taught by Dr. Rajesh in the financial world both from his personal and career are experiences which cannot be learned from a presentation slide or from a binded book. A gem of person who has motivated us MBA's to take risks, make mistakes and learn from them to better ourselves in this professional world. The best part of working with Dr. Rajesh on projects at the university was that he would completely support the students on their projects and ideas which would be different. Even when we would face fallbacks, he would stand by us, keep us motivated and push us to fulfill the project commitments, which has proved to make the project a complete success. My best project experience with my MBA batchmates being "Connect 2K18", which was conducted by the Executive MBA program batches. Dr. Rajesh's immense support and coordination with the senior management of Manipal Dubai made this program a huge success. Thank you Dr. Rajesh for making my MBA Program an excellent experience to remember."
