On Monday, puts exceeded calls by ₹1,181 crore as bulls sold puts and bears closed out their bearish call positions

- Ram Sahgal

Amid rising tariff tensions between India and the US, challenges have cropped up for stock market bulls yet again. Bears who had closed out much of their negative options bets—stocks plus index—on Monday, causing the market to rally by four-fifths of a percent, initiated fresh bearish positions on Tuesday. This creation of negative bets caused the market to fall seven-tenths of a percent from the day's high to close in the red.
