The Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, while announcing the Union Budget 2026-27, proposed a sharp rise in the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) on Futures and Options as part of the government’s strategy to soothe the country’s overheated derivatives market. The move comes on the backdrop of regulators’ concerns over excessive speculation in F&O allowing retail traders to enter the market and lose capital. Whether the government will be able to curb excessive speculation in F&O through this move remains to be seen. The stock indices, however, were hit hard, with the BSE Sensex falling by 1500 points amid widespread selling on the STT hike. Let’s examine the potential impact of this hike on Indian F&O traders.

Bursa Malaysia extended its rally to a fresh seven-year high, supported by stronger global earnings, continued buying in banking stocks and sustained foreign fund inflows, although analysts caution that near-term volatility may persist amid limited domestic catalysts.

The Malaysian ringgit extended its rally, reaching a five-year high against the US dollar, trading in a narrow range of RM4.04-RM4.05.

The year 2026 is expected to be a period of high volatility in the forex market, which from an astrological perspective is viewed as an opportunity for traders who maintain discipline and manage risk effectively. Four zodiac signs stand out in terms of financial prospects: Cancer, which is well suited for long-term trading; Aries, which favors short-term trading but requires strong emotional control; Taurus, which shows strength in generating supplementary income within the trading industry; and Libra, which is best aligned with systematic, rule-based trading. However, astrology serves only as a psychological support tool. True success in trading ultimately depends on a trader’s planning, discipline, and risk management rather than luck alone.
