If you look at the daily returns on the 9 stocks added to F&O on 31-December, the returns on all the stocks except NBCC India have been positive. While the returns on most stocks were in the range of 1-3%, two stocks stood out. IDFC Ltd rallied by +13.46% while Tata Communications rallied +4.77%.

However, in both these stocks there were specific stories too. IDFC gained from its proposed merger with IDFC First Bank, while Tata Communications gained from the telecom sector outlook upgrade by ICRA. However, it has been observed that addition in F&O has deepened liquidity in the stock and that should be visible in the next few days of trading.
