There are plenty of actions which are happening in the single stock futures, but on the futures side around 30% volumes coming from the Nifty futures and the discount is around 29-30 points. We have seen an addition of 10 lakh share in the open interest which is a bit somber.

The important thing is that the 4000 put is adding open interest and that seems to be a very good support level for the market and also we have seen 1.5 lakh shares being added. But on the upper side its 4300 and 4400 call where we are seeing huge call writing happening in. Stock specific, real estate has to be one of the sectors where we have seen a lot of action today and Unitech would be one stock to watch out for.
