What Is A Stock?

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) are the popular stock exchanges in India. The Bombay Exchange Sensitivity Index or “Sensex” is a number that is figured out as the 30 largest and most actively traded stocks on the BSE. A nifty index is a number computed for the top 50 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange(NSE).

Both these two indexes can provide an insight into the performance of the Indian share market. Market players examine the changes in their value over time and use various strategies for their trading.
