It is common for people to track broad based Indian stock market indices like the Nifty & Sensex. However, there’s more to it than just that. In reality, many indices that comprise different sectors don’t always move in tandem. They may have correlation, but it is important to understand which sectors moved and by how much if you want to have a good grip on your portfolio of stocks. This is especially useful if you have a top-down approach to trading. Of course almost all trading is top-down but nevertheless, worth a mention.
