💰 FII/DII Activity
On 9 July 2026, the activity of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) showed some interesting trends that retail traders should keep an eye on.
FIIs maintained a bullish stance with a net long futures position of 325,320 contracts. This means FIIs are generally optimistic about the market's near-term prospects, as they hold more long positions than short ones in futures. Their total long positions across futures and options stood at 5,780,018, compared to total shorts of 5,187,008, resulting in a positive net position of 593,010 contracts.
On the other hand, DIIs showed a significant net short futures position of -3,874,143 contracts. This indicates that DIIs are more cautious or bearish, holding many more short futures contracts than long ones. Their total net position across futures and options was also negative at -4,152,318 contracts, with total shorts exceeding longs (4,603,977 shorts vs. 451,659 longs).
For retail traders, this divergence suggests that while FIIs are betting on market gains, DIIs are hedging or expecting some downside. Such mixed signals can lead to increased volatility, so traders should stay alert and consider risk management strategies.
