Derivatives see a tug-of-war between FPI, retail investors

A battle of nerves has built up in India's derivatives market with foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) betting the indices will rise further, while an opposing camp of retail and wealthy investors is equally convinced they can correct.

Even as markets have hit record highs, National Stock Exchange's (NSE's) Client category-comprising largely highnet-worth individuals (HNIS) and retail investors-has taken a sizeable bearish position on index futures contracts, mainly the Nifty and the Bank Nifty, while FPIs have a bullish position on them.

NSE data showed that Client held 85,251 cumulative net short contracts as of December 22, while FPIs held 84,690 net long contracts.
