💰 FII/DII Activity
On 30 June 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 had a modest net long position in futures, with a net of 253,684 contracts (3,777,181 long vs. 3,523,497 short). This indicates a slightly bullish stance from foreign investors in the futures market. Their overall net position across futures and options was positive at 543,493 contracts, suggesting cautious optimism.
On the other hand, DIIs took a significantly bearish stance in futures, with a net short position of -3,971,600 contracts (319,185 long vs. 4,290,785 short). Their total net position, including options, was also negative at -3,985,685 contracts, reflecting a strong defensive posture from domestic investors.
For retail traders, this divergence means that while foreign investors are leaning towards buying, domestic investors are heavily selling in the futures space. This mixed sentiment could lead to increased volatility, so traders should be cautious and watch for potential market swings.
