Hi,

Wanted to know what does NIFTY actually indicate? There is ample material on how it is calculated. But is it an average price, or something else?

Rohini

Sathish Emmadi February 6, 2012 at 11:12 am: It’s weighted average of free float market capitalization of all the 50 companies.

NSE has national reach to major market segments like equity or capital markets, futures and options or derivatives market, wholesale debt market, mutual funds, initial public offerings and so on. There is also a concept of day trading which suits well for short term investments.
