The put‑call ratio stands at 0.935, up from yesterday’s 0.786, showing a modest increase in put demand relative to calls. This upward shift suggests that traders are adding protective downside positions as the market remains range‑bound.

Futures OI

Futures open interest for this expiry registers zero change, indicating that speculative and hedging flows in the index futures market are flat across both equity and commodity‑linked contracts. The lack of movement aligns with the neutral spot‑price action, reinforcing the view that participants are not adjusting their directional exposure in the near term or any imminent policy announcements.

Data Summary
