Hindustan Unilever Limited Open Interest & PCR Analysis

OI Buildup Pattern

The current open‑interest profile shows a neutral buildup, with the spot price remaining flat at ₹1815.8 and total open interest unchanged, observed in today’s market activity. Call open interest stands at 62,26,200 contracts, while put open interest totals 93,10,800 contracts, indicating that protective or bearish bets outweigh bullish exposure, primarily among institutional investors, and reflect market hedging trends. Because price movement is negligible and open interest is flat, neither long nor short side is aggressively adding new positions, reinforcing the neutral stance, and no significant roll‑over activity is evident.

Put-Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio registers at 0.669, markedly higher than yesterday’s 0.401, reflecting a relative increase in put contracts versus calls, and reflects heightened risk aversion today overall.

Futures OI

Futures open interest for this expiry is unchanged at zero, indicating no new speculative or hedging flow in the index futures market, and no new large block trades have been reported. The stagnant futures OI, combined with flat spot pricing, points to a lack of directional conviction among traders toward either bullish or bearish bets.

Data Summary

Overall, the unchanged total OI of 93,10,800 puts versus 62,26,200 calls underscores a defensive bias in positioning for this expiry, and underscores the defensive bias prevailing across the equity segment.
