@Tejas Khoday : Do you have any plans for Allowing Trading in US Stocks . I saw some ads of new players in Market with US Stocks Trade Plans. This is not a popular segment yet and It can be a good opportunity for Fyers.
Hi
@mevaibhav, US Stocks? Hmmm.. Not on the radar right now! I have not yet evaluated the feasibility of it and we aim to provide more features on the platform for Indian markets. Apart from the FAANG
(Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix & Google), I don't think there is any demand for US stocks and neither is there enough information about it for Indian retail investors. The difference in Time Zones is a big drawback too.
In fact, I think that these stocks must be listed on NSE & BSE so that the shares can be purchased by Indian citizens rather than having to do it on NASDAQ in US Dollars which is highly unlikely to generate enough interest. In the 1970s, MNCs were forced to list in India and people got the opportunities to invest in them at a very early stage. Those who did and held on make a lot of money via appreciation and dividends! Similarly, FAANG stocks and other such MNCs who employ a lot of Indians and compete with Indian business must provide an ownership opportunity to the society at large. Until that happens, the demand will be lackluster in my honest opinion.
