Open Interest

Open interest refers to the total number of futures or options contracts that have not been fulfilled or offset. It is important to note that each open transaction has both a buyer and a seller, but when calculating open interest, only one side of the contract is considered. This figure is crucial for understanding market sentiment and making informed investment decisions. It reflects the ongoing interest and potential for movement in a particular commodity or option.
