Target: |342; Stop Loss: | 381 Rationale Broader markets have declined sharply last week while sell-off was observed across sectors. The outperforming space like FMCG has also come under pressure amid fresh short additions. Stocks like Marico, which have been quite resilient recently witnessed Derivatives View fresh short additions to the tune of almost 15% last week itself indicating expectation of further downsides. The stock was finding it tough to move above | 375 levels despite many attempts in the last couple of weeks. We believe these levels were utilised for creating short positions. We expect it to move towards | 340 levels in the coming sessions.

The index is heading towards 11300 Put strike, which gained open interest since the Budget day • Nifty futures open interest has reduced, which indicates towards liquidation of long positions. FIIs closed cash positions to the tune of | 1400 crore just before the FM’s announcement on FPI taxation • Volatility has reverted from lower levels but is still quite low near 12%. Heavy selling in Call strikes has led to these lower volatility levels and restricted the Nifty recovery above 11700 • Nifty future premium has reduced in the last couple of weeks. Last week, it declined from 10 to -6 and has ended par to negative during the week. This translates into current profit booking trend in the market. It may still take some time for the index to start getting the momentum back Nifty options OI build-up 40 Call OI Put OI 35 30 25 Retail Equity Research Equity Retail 20 – OI in Lacsin OI 15 10 5 0 11100 11200 11300 11400 11500 11600 11700 11800 11900 12000 ICICI Securities Securities ICICI Source: Bloomberg, ICICI Direct Research July 25, 2019 ICICI Securities Ltd. | Retail Equity Research 6 Bank Nifty: 30200 hurdle on upsides… . For the major part of the week, the Bank Nifty continued its consolidation and remained above 30500 levels. However, on the weekly expiry day, it closed below these levels which acted as a turning point. Cash based selling by FII’s pushed Bank Nifty well below its sizeable Put base of 30000 . Despite bond yields falling to two and half year lows, there was no major buying trigger in banking stocks. Call writing blocks were seen in most private banks, which kept the index move in check and finally gave up all its gains . As the index slipped below 30000 levels, Call writing OI blocks were seen in 30200 strikes which would continue to act as a hurdle going forward. On the lower side, Bank Nifty may decline towards 29400 which be the target, going forward . On the back of selling in banking stocks, the current price ratio of Bank Nifty/Nifty has moved lower to 2.60 levels. We feel the ongoing trend will continue and selling is likely to accelerate once Bank Nifty manages to close below 29500 levels Bank Nifty options OI build-up 900 Put OI Call OI 800 700 600 Research Equity Retail – 500 400 300 200 OI OI Thousands in 100 ICICI Securities Securities ICICI 0 29600 29700 29800 29900 30000 30100 30200 30300 30400 30500 30600 30700 30800 30900 Source: Bloomberg, ICICI Direct Research July 25, 2019 ICICI Securities Ltd. | Retail Equity Research 7 Global markets remain on edge as trade friction, growth concerns linger… • The S&P index is likely to snap two-week consecutive gains as resurfacing US-China trade concerns as well as US-Iran geo-political worries are weighing on risk sentiment.
