Blue Star Ltd. Reports 19.96% Surge in Open Interest to 16,452 Contracts

Blue Star Ltd., a mid-cap player in the Electronics & Appliances sector, has experienced a significant increase in open interest today. The latest open interest stands at 16,452 contracts, reflecting a rise of 2,738 contracts or 19.96% from the previous open interest of 13,714. This surge in open interest comes alongside a trading volume of 22,601 contracts, indicating heightened activity in the derivatives market.
Despite this notable uptick in open interest, Blue Star's stock performance has been underwhelming, underperforming its sector by 2.53%. The stock has faced a consecutive decline over the past six days, resulting in a total drop of 11.45%. Today, it reached an intraday low of Rs 1,712.1, marking a decrease of 4.11%. The weighted average price suggests that more volume was traded closer to this low price.

Additionally, the stock is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. However, there has been a notable increase in delivery volume, which rose by 751.92% compared to the 5-day average, indicating a potential shift in trading dynamics. Overall, the increase in open interest amidst a challenging price environment highlights the complexities of Blue Star's current market position.
