Option Open Interest for 03-05-2013

Inference
Nifty opened flat, but weakened to the lows of the day as the RBI cut just the benchmark repo rate by 25 bps, but kept cash reserve ratio unchanged. The index tried to move up and made a dash towards 6000 level but saw huge selling pressure and ended the day weak around the lows at 5944.00, a huge loss of 55.35 points. On a week on week basis the index gained 72.55 points or approx 1.24%. The broader market was also negative, with just 494 advances to 798 declines. Nifty lost 55 but Option Table is not looking weak at all, shorter need to be cautions at lower levels.
