Therefore, here are the factors you need to consider while evaluating the index &#8211;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Global and Domestic market sentiment: <\/strong>The market sentiment whether it is on the global platform or domestic space affects the index. Looking at the index movement, the overall market sentiment can be gauged.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Financial reports: <\/strong>When the constituent companies of the <strong>bse<\/strong> <strong>Sensex index <\/strong>announce their financial returns annually or quarterly, the index gets affected as the constituent stock prices move faster. If the results are positive 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.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corporate announcements:<\/strong> One or more of its constituent companies can affect Sensex with any major corporate announcements. For instance, if a few of the companies of Sensex announces dividends, then the prices of those stocks can go up which can take the Sensex up as well.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Monetary Policies:<\/strong> Repo Rates or other rates if altered by RBI then it can have a significant effect on the Sensex movement. If the rates are changed as per the market\u2019s anticipation, then it can boost the market sentiment, taking the index higher, and vice versa.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corporate Activities: <\/strong>If the constituent companies pay dividends, issue bonus shares, and do other similar activities, then stock prices usually go up as the investors get excited, which boosts the index as well.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-sensex-index-calculation-method\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sensex_Index_Calculation_Method\"><\/span>Sensex Index Calculation Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BSE Sensex <\/strong>is constructed using the float-adjusted market capitalization method. Here are the details for index construction \u2013&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The companies meeting the above-mentioned eligibility criteria are ranked as per float-adjusted market capitalization, and the top 75 companies are shortlisted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similarly, another 75 companies are shortlisted based on the total market capitalization of the past six months from the eligible universe.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then both the lists are combined, and sorted according to annualized traded value. Companies having a cumulative annualized traded value higher than 98% are excluded.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now these remaining companies are sorted as per the average six-month float-adjusted market capitalization. Any company having a weight lower than 0.5% is not included.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resultant companies from the above step are then ranked and included in the index as per the below riles \u2013\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The top 21 companies from the list are included without any sector specifications (it may or may not be a current index constituent)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The existing index constituent stocks are ranked from 22 to 39 and included in the index as per highest rank until the target count of 30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the target count is not achieved then non-constituent stocks are also ranked from 22 to 30. Then those are preferred whose common India Industry Classification structure macro-economic indicator is represented lower in the Sensex index than macro-economic indicator representation in the BSE Allcap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even then the target count of 30 is not met, and non-constituent stocks are chosen as per the highest rank.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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\">Sensex has flared over the years, with more or less consistent returns.
