Nifty Futures Indicate Positive Sentiment as India VIX Declines

Published July 27, 2024

In the domain of futures trading, a keen interest has been observed in the Nifty August futures, which has been trading at a premium, commonly interpreted as a sign of positive market sentiment among investors. This is set against the backdrop of the National Stock Exchange's (NSE) India VIX, a volatility index that reflects market expectations of near-term volatility, conveyed by the prices of Nifty index options. The India VIX has notably slipped 2.93% to register a value of 12.25, potentially indicating a reduction in anticipated market volatility and an environment that could be favorable for equities.
