[MMB ITC] Why options and futures prices are not moving. Anymore tax hike by government again. Or any bad news coming

Stagnant options and futures prices can indicate uncertainty or a lack of clear directional bias in the market, often preceding significant news or policy changes. Tax hikes can significantly impact corporate earnings.

Adopt a cautious stance; consider hedging existing positions or reducing exposure until clarity emerges on potential policy changes or market-moving news.

For Indian markets, this story mainly matters for ITC and the metals pocket. The current signal is bearish, so traders should look for follow-through in price, volume, and sector breadth instead of reacting to the headline alone.

Watch whether the next market session confirms the setup described here: The source is 'MMB ITC' and the article speculates about potential tax hikes, which have historically impacted ITC's tobacco business negatively. Also track volume confirmation, sector participation, and whether the move holds beyond the first reaction.
