Option Open Interest for 31-07-2012

Inference
The index opened above the dotted line and meandered along without much purpose waiting for the RBI’s monetary policy, and the policy did disappoint with just a small cut on SLR from 24% to 23%. Nifty nose-dived below the 5160 level where the responsive buyers took control and Nifty galloped away to the high of the day at 5234. The index ultimately closed just below today’s high at 5229.00, a gain of 29.20 points. OI Table got some face lift with 5100PE now looking like a good enough support on the downside.
