Indian Stock Markets saw massive selling by nervous investors offloading delivery stocks, and trading stop loss triggers in the Futures and Options segment. Today’s total trading volume was a new life time high for Nifty. Nifty fell 3.3% on Huge Selling by FIIs, and though the DIIs tried to buy as much as they could, the number of sellers were 3 times more and the selling pressure was unstoppable till the end.

The 9 million 5400 Put writers who thought 5400 to be safe support to sell Put options got wiped out today. Even the 9 million 5300 Put writers got wiped out — this was totally unthinkable even 1 hour before the end of the trading session. All this has happened based on real selling in stocks, something which most market players had not planned to witness — it was a result of spiking oil prices due to Libya crisis and uncertainty on when and how it will resolve or spread to other middle east nations in coming months.
