Marico Limited Open Interest & PCR Analysis

OI Buildup Pattern

The open‑interest (OI) for the current expiry remains unchanged at 5,119,200 contracts while the spot price is flat at ₹815.15, indicating a neutral buildup. With price movement stagnant and OI static, there is neither a discernible increase in long positions nor short positions, suggesting that market participants are holding their existing positions rather than initiating new directional bets. This equilibrium between price and OI typifies a “neutral” environment, where traders are awaiting fresh catalysts before committing additional capital to either side of the market.

Put‑Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio (PCR) stands at 0.577, reflecting a modest bias toward call options relative to puts for this expiry. Compared with yesterday’s figure of 0.63, the PCR has slipped lower, signalling a slight reduction in the relative weight of put options and a marginal tilt toward bullish sentiment among option writers.

Futures OI

Futures open‑interest registers a zero change, meaning no net addition or reduction of contracts across the board for the underlying equity futures. This flatness in futures OI reinforces the broader neutral stance observed in the options market, indicating that speculative positioning in the underlying asset is currently dormant.

Data Summary

The headline figure to note is the unchanged total OI of 5,119,200 contracts, highlighting a market that is essentially in a wait‑and‑see mode for this expiry.
