Option Open Interest for 16-01-2013

Inference
Nifty opened flat, just below the previous day’s close and remained weak throughout the session going below 6000 spot but recovered just to close at 6001.85, still a huge loss of 54.75 points. The only saving grace was that the fall was basically due to long liquidation and not much shorts were added to the system. The broader market also performed miserably, with 328 advances to 1197 declines. The OI Table saw huge unwinding at 6000PE level.
