FII & DII Open Interest Report — 07 August 2026
The latest FII & DII open-interest data presents a cautious market setup:
FII: Holding an aggressive 87% Short position and only 13% Long, indicating that FIIs continue to maintain a strong bearish stance in the derivatives segment.
DII: Holding 73% Long and 27% Short. However, DII long exposure has started to reduce, which could indicate some moderation in their bullish positioning.
Clients: Continue to hold an aggressive 76% Long position against FIIs, with only 24% Short exposure.
Pro: Positions remain relatively balanced but slightly bearish, with 59% Short and 41% Long.
Cash Market Activity
In the cash segment, FII buying was relatively limited at around ₹480 crore on Friday, suggesting that the cash-market buying has not yet provided a strong confirmation of a bullish reversal.
Market Interpretation
The key point to watch is the divergence between FII and Client positioning. FIIs continue to carry a heavily short-biased position, while clients remain aggressively long. At the same time, DII long exposure is showing signs of reduction.
Overall: The derivatives data continues to suggest caution and downside risk, particularly as long as FII short positioning remains elevated. A meaningful change in FII positioning—especially short covering—would be important for establishing stronger bullish confirmation.
