Sensex stands for Sensitive Index and NIFTY for National Fifty. It is an abbreviation of the Bombay Exchange Sensitive Index (Sensex) - the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). It is composed of 30 of the largest and most actively traded stocks on the BSE. Initially compiled in 1986, the Sensex is the oldest stock index in India. An index is basically an indicator. It gives a general idea about whether most of the stocks have gone up or most of the stocks have gone down. The Sensex is an indicator of all the major companies of the BSE. The Nifty is an indicator of all the major companies of the NSE. If the Sensex goes up, it means that the prices of the stocks of most of the major companies on the BSE have gone up.
