Nifty gamma exposure (NiGEX), which measures liquidity and volatility, decreased slightly on April 25th with a closing value of 38L, after being at 43L on April 24th. While this indicates a positive gamma environment, it's important to note that NiGEX should not be the sole factor in making investment decisions. Theta, the cost of owning gamma, benefits option owners in this scenario, as well as rewards delta, with call owners seeing a positive effect when asset prices rise. This also reduces directional risk and variance.
A small drop in NiGEX, is inline with flat Nifty which closed with 0.2% gains on April 25th. Additionally, NiGEX has exhibited volatile behavior over the past 200 days, with an average value of 244K and a median value of 1061K. The value range has been wide, ranging from a low of -116L to a high of 50L.
