Sensex

Stock Exchange Sensitive Index (Sensex) SENSEX stands for Stock Exchange Sensitive Index. It is the oldest stock index in India and is also known as the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). It is owned by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The stock market index Nifty is called Nifty because it's a combination of the words "National Stock Exchange" and "Fifty". The Nifty 50 is the flagship index of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India. It tracks the performance of the top 50 companies on the NSE. The stock market fell due to multiple reasons, such as weak earnings by Indian banks, MSCI rejig, DIIs stuck at higher levels, rising US bond yield, and FIIs moving from India to China, according to a Mint report. Another reason was market uncertainty due to tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump.
