Though Sensex is made up of just an arbitrary of number that determines the performance of the market, it has a lot of meaning behind it. It gives a clue of the market sentiment which ambiguously states whether individuals are confident or otherwise of the future of the market. Sensex or the indication of the mood in the stock market can rise means the level of people’s optimism which can bring investment, at both the domestic and international levels.

They have cited instances of the economy outperforming expectations, investors increasing the stakes by acquiring the shares of corporations, and if the policies are directed towards investors then the Sensex will point to perks which will be a positive step, otherwise adverse situations or geopolitical findings will bring adverse trends in this arena.

The Sensex in action

While on the other hand, all the newspapers and magazines in common mention changes in the Indian stock market.
