TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Some brokers are advising their wealthy clients to sell ‘active month’ out-of-the-money (OTM) Nifty put options expiring on a weekly or monthly basis to pocket the premiums paid by buyers. This is because of falling option volatility and the rising put-call ratio (PCR). These two measures signal that markets aren’t likely to correct below 12,000, for now, but could rather rise or remain steady.
