Derivatives Daily Update: April 4 2012


Weak Day: April 4, 2012

Nifty April Futures closed at 5344.55 down by 38.70 points. Bank Nifty closed at 10364.25 down by 80.05 points. Volumes were again lower than previous day and stood at Rs 698 bn. Open Interest in Nifty across all series came down by 8.30 lakh shares at 1.98 Cr shares indicating some bull unwinding ahead of long week end holidays. Put Call Ratio too was almost flat at 1.13. Volatility as measured by India VIX shot up by 3% at 20.63 though trading at lower end of the range. Dollar Rupee duo was trading higher at 51.37 from 51.01 of previous day. All in all it was a listless day with some pressure from Bull unwinding.

My prognosis still remains bullish. As long as we are trading above 5150 levels, it is advisable to buy in every dip with price objective of 5550-5600. Worrying factor though is lack of volume along with lower built up in Open Interest.

 Top five individual stocks which gained today were NAGAROIL 20%, DHANBANK 6%, INDIACEM 5%, PANTALOON 4% and MAX 4%.

Top five individual stocks which lost ground were ESSAROIL -5%, SOBHA -5%, JINDALSTEL -3%, GAIL -3% and GMRINFRA -3%.
