  • The anchor allocations will be completed later this week, and the stock is expected to start trading on 16 September.
  • Bajaj Housing Finance (BHF IN)‘s maximum float will be around 10% and that will limit inclusion to just one global index in the following 6 months. 

EQD / NSE Vol Update / Skew & PCR Indicate Active Use of OTM Puts to Hedge NIFTY50 at All-Time-Highs

By Sankalp Singh

  • Recovery in Risk-Premia was short-lived. Pressure from a lack of upcoming event-risk has driven short-dated IVs lower.
  • Nifty50 at All-Time-Highs – PCR & Skew extend further towards puts. Implying active hedging of core long equity positions using OTM puts. 
  • “High & Down” Vol-state persists. Expect a continued slide lower in IVs. Retain previous week’s tactical stance – allocations to Short Iron Condors & Skew Harvesting structures.
