Derivatives Daily Update: April 30 2012


Resilient Day: April 30, 2012

Nifty May Futures closed up by 35.65 points at 5267.85. Bank Nifty too closed higher by 62.55 points at 10269.70 points. Turnover was lower at Rs662 bn. Open Interest in Nifty across all the series show an up tick by 5.55 lk shares at 1.98 Cr shares. Put Call Ratio was slightly subdued at 0.95. Volatility as measured by India VIX was up by 1% at 17.82 and Dollar Rupee duo was trading higher at 53.05. All in all it was a low activity day with upward bias.

In my opinion, as long as we are remaining above 5150 (cash basis) upward bias continues with price objective of 5550-5600. We are trading in a range from very long time and there is high probability of breaking this range. Volatility at abysmally low level can not continue for long and it will start moving towards its mean. Once market gathers momentum, volatility too will increase which in turn has capability of breaking the range on either side. Let us see what May has to deliver in coming days.
