Rollovers: (D-2 Days): Market-wide roll 52%; Nifty roll 49%
It was yet another lackluster session marked by low volumes. Nifty ended the day lower
by ~0.6%. On the D-2, market wide rollovers into the January series accounted for
~52%. This is higher than the average of ~49% rollovers seen in the previous three
expiries. Current market wide futures OI stands at ~INR 435 bn compared with an OI of
~INR 515 bn on the D-2 of November expiry. Roll cost (cost to long rollers) in single
stock futures was around 75-80 bps. We strongly believe that the increasing NDF cost (1
Month Fwd ~50-55points) has resulted in the expansion of the roll levels.
On the Nifty front, around 49% of outstanding positions have been rolled over to
January series as against the average rollovers of 45% for the last three series. The
current Nifty OI stands at 503k contracts (INR 120 bn) compared to 714k contracts (INR
173 bn) on D-2 of November expiry. Around 41.5k Nifty contracts were rolled over
while ~3.2 k contracts were squared off in the near month. Nifty roll cost (cost to long
rollers) came down to ~17-18 points today from yesterday’s levels of ~20-21 points.


Sectors with strong rollovers were metals (~56%), banking and auto (~55% each). Counters
where rolls have picked up are Wipro (45%/25%), Jindal Steel (40%/26%) and TCS
(50%/34%). Cement (~40%) has seen weak rollovers.
