What is NIFTY?

NIFTY is a famous term linked with the Indian stock market. NIFTY is an index of 50 different stocks divided into different economic sectors. It is an index launched by the National Stock Exchange or NSE. The word “NIFTY” is derived from two words: National Stock Exchange and Fifty. The NIFTY index represents the most traded stocks in the stock market. NIFTY is also a benchmark to measure overall market performance. Accordingly, various baskets of stocks, mutual funds, and thematic investment options use NIFTY as a performance benchmark. The value of this index is calculated based on the weight of each stock in the index. Each share has a different weight, and they consist of the cumulative value of the index. The weight is assigned based on the market value of each share.

NIFTY is not only an index but also available as a derivative contract. Exchanges offer NIFTY futures and options contracts, the real value of which is derived from the underlying value of the NIFTY index, and traders can trade these contracts.

It provides investors and market intermediaries with a benchmark that describes the functioning of the Indian banking capital market. The index includes 12 companies listed on the NSE. The Bank NIFTY index roughly reflects the condition of major banks in India and helps measure the performance of the banking sector.

In derivatives trading

The trader speculates that the price of a certain asset may rise or fall depending on the market factors affecting its price. So, they buy a contract that gives them the right to buy or sell the asset at a later date at an agreed price. The exchanges also allow you to trade Nifty derivatives. In addition, it is categorized into two parts.

 

  • NIFTY Futures Trading – This is a form of derivatives trading where a buyer and seller agree to buy or sell a contract at a pre-agreed date and price. In this case, the buyer or seller is obliged to use the contract at the end of the deadline.
  • NIFTY Options Trading In NIFTY options contract, buyers and sellers agree to buy or sell the Nifty contract in the future at an agreed price.
