Derivatives Daily Update: April 13 2012


Weak Day: April 13, 2012

Nifty April Future closed at 5221.10 down by 69.55 points. Bank Nifty closed at 10327.90 down by 97.75 points. Volumes were much higher than yesterday and stood at Rs 1.37 trillion. Open Interest saw an increase by 4.34 lakh shares at 2.02 Cr shares. Put Call Ratio saw an increase and it stood at 1.03. Volatility as measured by India VIX stood at 22.75 up by 4%. Dollar Rupee pair was trading mildly higher at 51.66. All in all it was weak day as we saw pressure in price behavior letting Nifty to drag lower by 1.5%.

Today’s price behavior and volumes were remarkable and might help us in deciding trend of the market in couple of days. Volumes were higher on a down day and Open Interest has also increased which indicates fresh shorts were created in the market. Though in my view, as long as Nifty holds 5150 medium term trend is not vitiated. Let us see how Nifty performs in coming weeks till expiry.
