OI Buildup Pattern

The total call‑option open interest stands at 1,36,50,175 contracts across all strikes while put‑option open interest is 85,37,025 contracts, indicating that call positions dominate the market through the March‑June cycle. Since the spot price remains unchanged at ₹506.8 and total open interest shows a flat change for this expiry, neither long nor short builders are emerging, reflecting a neutral positioning environment in the current trading day. The combination of stable price and unchanged open interest suggests that existing participants are holding their current exposures in the equity‑linked segment rather than adding to or unwinding positions as indicated by flat volume.

Put-Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio sits at 0.625 for the July expiry, indicating that call contracts outnumber puts but the margin is not extreme relative to historical averages. Compared with yesterday’s 0.473 level, the ratio has risen, showing a modest shift toward relatively more call‑side exposure among market participants across the sector.

Futures OI

Futures open interest registers zero change for the current expiry across all maturities, meaning no net addition or reduction in contracts and no change in volume. Such a flat futures OI profile reinforces the neutral stance observed in the options market, as reflected by unchanged call‑put dynamics.

Data Summary

Overall, the key datum is an unchanged total open interest of 1,36,50,175 contracts alongside a stable spot price for the underlying zinc commodity.
