This data consists of essential information for traders and investors. It includes real-time data with live updates on stock prices, indices, and trading volumes, enabling timely decision-making. End-of-day data summarises daily trading activities, such as closing prices and market statistics. Meanwhile, the historical data offers valuable insights for research and analysis.
These serve as a resource for understanding company-related developments. These include corporate announcements about financial results, board meetings, and other updates. Shareholding patterns reveal ownership structures, while financial results offer quarterly and annual performance details. Corporate actions such as dividends, stock splits, and mergers are also covered, ensuring transparency for stakeholders.
You can take part in different types of trading opportunities via the BSE. For example, equity trading enables the buying and selling of shares from listed companies. Meanwhile, derivative trading offers futures and options contracts on stocks and indices. Similarly, currency derivatives allow trading in currency futures and options. Commodity derivatives provide a platform for trading futures on various commodities, catering to diverse market interests.
These play a vital role in tracking market trends. The S&P BSE SENSEX, the flagship index, represents 30 leading companies across sectors. Sectoral indices focus on specific industries such as IT, FMCG, and Healthcare, while thematic indices highlight themes like sustainability and innovation.
These are an integral part of BSE’s offerings. The mutual fund platform enables investors to purchase and redeem units seamlessly. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which track indices or commodities, can also be traded efficiently on the platform.
