BSE / NSE Weekly Review - 1st July 2011

Aggressive buying of the out-of-the-money put and writing of the out-of-the-money call indicates bearish outlook



Source: NSE

The domestic market rose in four of the last five trading days buoyed by the easing Greece debt worries and strong buying by the Foreign Institutional Investors (FII). The benchmark nifty rose by 176.15 points during the week till the expiry day as major shorts in the June series were aggressive covered, while fresh long position in the index and stock future were created. Although the volumes on Friday were thin, the position buildup in the Future & Options (F&O) July series do not look encouraging. Huge call writing was witnessed in the 5600 and up strike call option of the July series. Similarly out-of-the-money puts were aggressive bought on Friday. On Friday the market fell 20.20 points to close at 5627.20.

The nifty July future closed at a premium of 11.20 points at 5638.40 on Friday. On the expiry day the nifty July series added 46.71 lakh shares in open interest (OI) while on Friday the activity was thin and the nifty July series added further 75 thousand shares in OI to take the total OI to 2.08 crore shares. Despite being an expiry week, the volumes remained unimpressive, and the average volume in the F&O segment during the week stood at Rs 147845.52 crore. The domestic inflation still remains a major concern and the Whole sale price index (WPI) going ahead is expected to remain firm following the hike in diesel, LPG and Kerosene prices recently. The Q1FY12 quarterly numbers will remain crucial for the market in the proceeding weeks. Beginning with the Infosys numbers, several of the other index heavyweight numbers will dictate the short term mood in the market. Overall volatility is expected to be the core in the market as some of the players in the commodity space are expected to face margin squeeze due to high input costs.

Huge resistance is expected going ahead, while the bias downward is more. The Q1FY12 result outcome and the FII allocation towards India will remain crucial. On the macro side things do not look favorable. The rally during the previous week was driven more by global sentiments than by genuine delivery purchase. Thus the market may witness sharp correction in the days ahead.

Our Recommendation :

Markets will now move sector / scrip specific investors are advised caution - wait for the trend to trade.
