In the six months preceding the date of rebalancing of the index, the stock must have traded at an average impact cost of 0.50% or lower.

Domestic as well as global cues affect the stock pricing, which in turn affects the index pricing. If the global market is sluggish, it can affect the <strong>nifty index<\/strong> and when the global market gives positive cues, the index can rise. It is the same with the domestic market sentiment as well.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Financial reports: <\/strong>When the constituent companies of the <strong>nifty index<\/strong> announce their financial returns, the index moves fast as the stock prices of the constituent stocks move significantly. If the financials of the constituting companies are positive, and as per anticipation or exceeded them, then the index might move up, while if the returns are not as good as they thought to be, or the constituting companies suffered loss during any quarter, or in a financial year, then the stock can drag the index down.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corporate announcements:<\/strong> If the companies, which form the <strong>nifty 50<\/strong> get some new orders, or crack some deal, or anything positive comes the way, the corporate announcement can boost the market sentiment, and the stock prices of those companies can move up taking the index higher. However, if something negative is announced, then the stock price of the constituent company may drag the index down as well.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Monetary Policies:<\/strong> Repo Rates by RBI and the <strong>NIFTY 50 index <\/strong>are highly correlated. When the repo rate goes up in an economy, the loans become expensive, which leads to a decline in business activity, and thus the stock prices decrease taking the nifty index down, while rate cuts boost the business activity and thus market sentiment, which takes the index up. However, it depends on other factors as well like inflation and other economic factors.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corporate Activities: <\/strong>If the constituent companies announce dividends, bonus issues, and similar activities, then stock prices usually go up as the investors get excited, which boosts the index as well.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-nifty-50-index-calculation-method\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NIFTY_50_Index_Calculation_Method\"><\/span>NIFTY 50 Index Calculation Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nifty 50 index<\/strong> value is calculated using the free-float market capitalization method.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The current market price of the 50 stocks of the index is multiplied by the number of free-float shares, which excludes shares held by promoters, government, trusts, etc. This results in the weighted market cap of the stocks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then weighted market capitalization of all 50 stocks is taken into account and summed up.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then the result is divided by the base period market capitalisation to derive the index value.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nifty 50 Index Value = (Current Market Cap or Weighted Market Cap\/ Base Market Cap) *1000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-performance-and-returns\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_and_Returns\"><\/span>Performance and Returns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nifty 50<\/strong> has been performing consistently well and in past years, it has jumped multiple times, however, also major corrections happened which need to be considered.
