Markets Today - 6/8/2010 - Disclaimer Post Applies

Nifty trading at premium to spot, maximum call concentration than puts at higher levels and major put concentration than calls at lower levels indicates Nifty to trade in a narrow range of 5,500 and 5,400 for near term. However, the range for August series is 5,600 and 5,300 on account of concentration.

Option Analysis:
·         Call writing: During the week, shedding was seen at lower strikes. Maximum writing was witnessed between 5,700 CE and 5,500 CE where the open interest added is 40.7 lakh shares with maximum at 5,600 CE of 18 lakh shares. Concentration is observed at 5,600 CE of 86 lakh shares.

·         Put Writing: On the other hand, fresh writing in puts was witnessed across strikes. Maximum writing was witnessed between 5,500 PE and 5,100 PE where the open interest added is ~109 lakh shares with maximum at 5,400 PE of 34 lakh shares. Concentration is observed at 5,300 PE of 99 lakh shares.

Implications: Maximum put writing witnessed during the week indicates Nifty taking strong support at lower levels with 5,400 acting for the intermediate term. On the other hand, upside is capped at 5,500 for near term on account of more call concentration than puts. However the wide range of Nifty for August series is 5,600 and 5,300 on account of concentration.
