The answer isn&#8217;t volatility, it&#8217;s design. These two BSE indices are built to measure completely different sides of the market.<\/p>\n\n <p>Sensex tracks companies across sectors, from IT to energy to FMCG. Bankex tracks banking stocks and nothing else. Knowing that one difference explains most of what confuses investors about these two indices, and it&#8217;s the key to reading market moves, sector strength, and policy impact correctly.<\/p>\n\n      <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Sensex\"><\/span>What Is Sensex?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n      <p>Sensex, short for Sensitive Index, is the BSE&#8217;s main benchmark launched in 1986.

Shares held by promoters, governments, controlling shareholders and strategic investors are generally excluded. The formula broadly considers:<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"balance\">\n        Free Float Market Cap <span>=<\/span> Market Price <span>\u00d7<\/span> Total Shares Outstanding <span>\u00d7<\/span> Free Float Factor\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>The combined free-float market capitalisation of all constituent companies is then adjusted using an index divisor to calculate the index value. <\/p>\n<p>Companies with a higher free-float market capitalisation usually have a greater impact on the index. BANKEX follows a modified version of this method, with a weight limit to prevent any single banking stock from having excessive influence.<\/p>\n\n      <blockquote class=\"quote\">\n        <p>Suppose loan demand rises and banks report strong earnings. This may improve investor sentiment towards banking stocks and push BANKEX higher.\nHowever, if IT, FMCG or healthcare stocks decline during the same period, SENSEX may rise more slowly.
