The stock market might seem complex at first, but understanding indices could make things a bit simpler. In this video, we’ll talk about what indices are and how they track a group of company stocks.
We’ll begin with how indices work like scoreboards, giving you an overall sense of how a section of the market is performing. You’ll learn how Sensex and Nifty reflect movements in the Indian stock market. We’ll uncover how Sensex tracks 30 of the largest companies listed on the BSE, while Nifty follows 50 leading companies on the NSE.
We’ll also take a closer look at other indices like Nifty Bank and Nifty Next 50 under NSE, along with BSE 500 and BSE Bankex under BSE. We’ll explore how these indices might help you understand specific sectors and their behaviours within the larger market space. You’ll also discover that there are many more indices that might offer a more comprehensive view of the stock market.
By the end, you might get an idea of how indices could help you assess market conditions, compare returns, and refine your investment strategies.
