Option Open Interest for 19-03-2013

Inference
Nifty opened positive just above the previous day’s close, but went for a tailspin on the back of news that the DMK has pulled out of the UPA government. In-between the RBI governor cut repo by 25 bps, and kept CRR unchanged, which was in-line with market expectation. The index closed near the low point of the day at 5745.95, a huge loss of 89.30 points. The broader market was also weak, with just 335 advances to 1174 declines. Bears are in full control of Option Table, with Bulls running for cover.
