▪️ COMMENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Long Build-Up: 27 stocks saw an increase in OI and price, suggesting a build-up of long positions. Major ones: IREDA, DRREDDY, RECLTD, LODHA, COALINDIA, etc.
• Short Build-Up: 37 stocks saw an increase in OI and a drop in price. Major ones: IRFC, CDSL, ZYDUSLIFE, TRENT, LICHSGFIN, etc.
• Short-Covering: 60 stocks saw short-covering, where OI decreased with a price increase. Major ones: NMDC, SBICARD, SAIL, VMM, VOLTAS, etc.
• Long Unwinding: 84 stocks saw a decline in open interest (OI) along with a fall in price, indicating long unwinding. Major ones: RVNL, KFINTECH, FEDERALBNK, COFORGE, ANGELONE, etc.
• Nifty Expiry: Monthly expiry is likely to keep the session volatile but range-bound, with 24,000–24,300 emerging as the key trading range. 24,000 remains the immediate floor, while 24,300 is the key ceiling; a decisive move beyond either level could set the next directional move.
• Global Agri Commodities: Agri prices have moved up sharply—Sugar +21% MoM, Cocoa +17%, and Cotton/Corn/Coffee +8–10%. The broad-based rise could add to food inflation if sustained, potentially making central banks more cautious on future rate cuts.
