Put OI declining at ITM strikes
Afterhovering at 24,000PE for three weeks in a row, the support level marginally rose by 200 points to 24,200PE, while the resistance level remained at 25,000CE for a second consecutive week, according to the options data on NSE after last Friday's session. The 25,000CE has highest Call OI followed by 24,800/ 26,000/ 24,700/ 24,900/ 25,500/ 25,800/ 25,100/ 25,300 strikes, while 24,700/ 24,600/ 24,800/ 25,200/ 26,000/ 25,800/ 25,500 strikes recorded hefty build-up of Call OI. No OI fall is visible on Call strikes. Coming to the Put side, maximum Put OI is seen at 24,200PE followed by 23,300/ 24,500/ 23,700/ 23,900/ 24,600/ 24,700/ 24,600/ 24700/22,950 strikes. Further 24,200/ 23,500/ 23,300/ 23,000/ 23,100/ 24,550/ 24,400 strikes witnessed reasonable addition of Put OI. Marginal OI drop is visible at Put ITM strikes from 24,750 inwards. Dhirender Singh Bisht, associate vice-president (technical research-equity) at SMC Global Securities Ltd, said: 'In the derivatives segment, the highest Call Open Interest was seen at the 25,000 and 24,800 strike levels, whereas Put writing was prominent at the 24,500 strike. Implied Volatility for Nifty's Call options settled at 10.63 per cent, while Put options concluded at 11.27 per cent.' 'Nifty and Bank Nifty ended the week in the red, weighed down by a sharp global reaction to a tweet from U.S. President Trump announcing a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods. The Nifty index declined by over one per cent, while Bank Nifty fell more than 1.5 per cent over the week. On the sectorial front, FMCG, chemical, and consumption stocks saw notable gains. However, profit booking was evident in realty, small-cap, and defence stocks, which faced pressure on the weekly charts,' said Bisht. For the week ended August 1, 2025, BSE Sensex closed at 80,599.91points, a fall of 863.18 points or 1.05 per cent, from the previous week's (July 25) closing of 81,463.09 points. NSE Nifty too declined by 271.65 points or 1.09 per cent to 24,565.35points from 24,837 points a week ago. Bisht forecasts:'Failure to break above these levels could trigger further downside. Traders should watch these levels, open interest trends, and geopolitical cues closely in upcoming sessions. For the upcoming sessions, Nifty has support at 24200 and 24000 level whereas resistance is placed at 24,900-25,000 zone.' India VIX rose 3.75 per cent to 11.98 level. 'The India VIX, a key indicator of market volatility, concluded the week at 11.54 per cent. The Put-Call Ratio of Open Interest stood at 1.09 for the week. Nifty rollover fell to 75.71 per cent, below the previous month and 3-month average, signaling weak momentum for August. In contrast, Bank Nifty rollover rose to 77.98 per cent, showing relative strength. Key rollover zones are 24,800–24,850 for Nifty and 56,200–56,300 for Bank Nifty,' remarked Bisht. Bank Nifty Bank Nifty NSE's banking index closed the week at 55,617.60points, 911.30 or 1.61 per cent lower from the previous week's closing of 56,528.90 points.

Investor confidence hovering at low ebb
Spookedby the Trump's 25 per cent tariff on India, hawkish Fed signals, mixed Q1 earnings and persistent FII selling; stock markets extended the fall for fifth consecutive week, recording the longest weekly losing streak in two years. For the week, the Sensex declined 863.18 points or 1.05 percent to end at 80,599.91, while the Nifty fell 271.65 points or 1.09 percent to close at 24,565.35. Losses were widespread in the broader market, the BSE Mid-cap Index fell 1.8 percent and the BSE Small-cap index shed 2.5 percent. Sectorally, Nifty Realty index slipped 5.7 percent, Nifty Metal index shed 3.4 percent, Nifty PSU Bank index declined 3.2 percent and Nifty Media index fell 3 percent. However, the Nifty FMCG index rose 3 percent. FIIs extended their selling for fifth consecutive week by selling equities worth Rs 20,524.42 crore. DIIs continued their buying for 15th straight week, with purchases worth Rs 24,300.05 crore. It is pertinent to observe that FII short interest in index futures has surged to 90 per cent, the highest since March 2023. The Indian rupee extended the losses in the fourth consecutive week to end at Rs 87.52 per dollar. The dollar index surged 2.5 per cent last week to cross the 100 mark, reaching a two-month high and registering its strongest weekly gain in nearly three years. Under the shadow of US Tariff salvo, all eyes will now be on the forthcoming RBI's Monetary Policy Committee meeting from August 4 to 6. Expectations are that RBI in its August 8th meeting will opt for 25 or even surprise with a 50 basis points rate cut bringing an 'early Diwali' by boosting credit growth. The central bank's commentary on inflation, liquidity, and growth outlook will be keenly watched. A dovish tilt could offer support to rate-sensitive sectors. Investor confidence took a hit after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, sharper than anticipated, and reaffirmed penalties on nearly 70 countries. Market players will be closely tracking diplomatic developments around the proposed US-India trade deal this week watching how policymakers respond diplomatically ahead of the next scheduled discussions. Q1 FY26 earnings season continues, with 128 companies scheduled to announce their financial results in the coming week. Among the key companies to watch are DLF, Adani Ports, Bharti Airtel, Lupin, Bajaj Auto, BHEL, Trent, BSE, LIC, Titan, and Tata Motors. Follow market trends and history. Don't speculate that this particular time will be any different. For example, a major key to investing in a specific stock is its performance over five years. FUTURES & OPTIONS / SECTOR WATCH Nervousness over the Trump tariff salvo and relentless FII selling; the settlement week witnessed sharp cuts in both the index and stock futures in the derivative segment. The Nifty index declined by over 1 per cent, while Bank Nifty fell more than 1.5 per cent over the week. Nifty rollovers also dropped to 75.71 per cent in July, down from 79.53 per cent in June. Despite a modest rise in open interest and subdued rollover cost, the absence of a strong buildup in either direction hints at a wait-and-watch approach. The tone for the new series remains subdued, with early signs pointing towards a bearish-to-range-bound phase. In the options segment, the highest Call open interest was seen at the 25,000 and 24,800 strike levels, whereas Put writing was prominent at the 24,500 strike. Implied volatility (IV) for Nifty's Call options settled at 10.63 per cent, while Put options concluded at 11.27 per cent. The India VIX, a key indicator of market volatility, concluded the week at 11.54 per cent. The Put-Call Ratio Open Interest (PCR OI) stood at 1.09 for the week. In the Bank Nifty rollover rose to 77.98 per cent, showing relative strength. Key rollover zones are 24,800–24,850 for Nifty and 56,200–56,300 for Bank Nifty. Failure to break above these levels could trigger further downside. The FII long-short ratio nosedived from 37.92 per cent at the start of the series to a multi-year low of 9.59 per cent. Such extreme bearish positioning often signals an overextended market, with the possibility of a sharp rebound once short-covering is triggered. Early unwinding from FIIs will be key for any bullish reversal. Traders should watch these levels, open interest trends, and geopolitical cues closely in upcoming sessions. For the upcoming sessions, Nifty has support at 24200 and 24000 level whereas resistance is placed at 24900-25000 zone. Stocks looking good are Asian Paints, Dabur, HDFC Bank, HUL, Indian Hotels, Jindal Steel, JSW Steel and Ultratech. Stocks looking weak are Aurobindo Pharma, BHEL, BDL, Dr Reddy's, Granules, IEX, IOC and UPL. (The author is a senior maket analyst and former vice-chairman, Andhra Pradesh State Planning Board)

Unilever India's new CEO tasked with invigorating a sluggish consumer giant
Hindustan Unilever Ltd.'s new Chief Executive Officer Priya Nair is inheriting India's largest consumer goods maker that has seen stuttering growth in the last few years. The company's stock has inched up about 4% in the last three years while the benchmark NSE Nifty 50 index surged almost 42%. Its volume growth has been sluggish. Sales expansion has been a fraction of the 2022 levels while disruptor local brands are eating into its market share across product categories. Often seen as the bellwether of the consumer sentiment in the world's most-populous nation, Hindustan Unilever, or HUL, also was dragged down by a consumption slowdown in India over the past year. So strong was investor disappointment that the sudden announcement about Rohit Jawa stepping down as the CEO half-way through his term to make way for Nair stoked a stock rally on July 11. The first woman CEO for HUL was earlier serving as the president for the beauty unit and the Global Chief Marketing Officer at the London-based parent. Nair has led the Indian unit's home care, beauty and wellbeing businesses in the past. Nuvama Wealth Management called Nair 'a more aggressive leader' in a note soon after her appointment was announced. Nair's 'focus remains on delivering volume-led competitive growth that is profitable and sustainable,' a representative for Unilever's India unit said in an email. The company will 'share more details at an appropriate time.' Not kept pace Hindustan Unilever 'has had a problem for multiple years,' said Arvind Singhal, founder at retail consultancy Technopak Advisors. 'India has been changing rapidly and they haven't been able to keep pace with India's changes.' The seller of Bru coffee and Dove soaps was battling a consumer demand slowdown in the past few quarters as picky city buyers chose to spend less or switched to artisanal products. Hindustan Unilever gets about two-thirds of its sales from urban India, while rural areas contribute the rest. 'The firm will have to have a fresh distribution strategy and rejig margin structure,' Singhal said. It will also need to 'develop new products,' and figure out the categories which can be rebuilt, he said. Sales growth in the recent past has been tepid too, dragged down by global price volatility in raw materials like palm oil and coffee, though the June quarter saw the return of revenue expansion. Nair will also be in the global spotlight. Unilever's new CEO Fernando Fernandez told analysts last week after its quarterly earnings that it would be investing a 'disproportionate' amount in the US and India, adding that 'momentum is building in India.' India is Unilever's second-largest market by revenue after the US and the largest by volume. Fernandez praised Nair's 'deep understanding of our home and personal care business in India that she successfully ran for many years.' She also has the international markets knowledge to keep the company's portfolio in turn with consumer needs, he said. HUL's beauty and personal care segments — they contribute over a third of HUL's sales — have been hit by rising competition from local startups like Honasa Consumer Ltd., with its Mamaearth brand, and global rivals like L'Oreal SA pushing hard into India. Jawa, Nair's predecessor, tried to double down on premiumization through the firm's 'ASPIRE' strategy by upgrading its legacy brands, adding new brands and spending on digital push. In January, HUL acquired skincare upstart Minimalist for 26.7 billion rupees ($305 million), in one of the biggest local deals for a cosmetics startup. Ratings upgrade At least three brokerages including Goldman Sachs upgraded their ratings outlook on HUL on Friday and at least 17 analysts, including Jefferies and Citi, raised their price target for the stock, signaling that Nair has the wind at her back. 'We look forward to an update on the strategy' as the new CEO takes over, Jefferies analysts including Vivek Maheshwari wrote in a note Friday.
