Market Mood Index NIFTY: A Quantitative Analysis of the Indian Stock Market

The NIFTY index, launched in 1992, is a widely followed benchmark for the Indian stock market. It represents the performance of a selection of 50 large and liquid stocks, covering various industries and sectors. The NIFTY index is often used as a barometer for the overall health of the Indian economy and has been shown to have a strong correlation with the performance of the Indian stock market. This article aims to conduct a quantitative analysis of the NIFTY index, exploring its relationship with other market sentiment indicators and identifying potential drivers of market sentiment.

Data and Methodology

For this analysis, we have utilized a time series of NIFTY index data from January 2000 to June 2021. In order to explore the relationship between the NIFTY index and other market sentiment indicators, we have also included data on the S&P BSE Sensex, the BSE Sensex, and the NSE Nifty 50 Index. All data was obtained from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the BSE.

In order to quantitatively analyze the relationship between the NIFTY index and these other market sentiment indicators, we have employed various statistical techniques, including correlation analysis, linear regression, and moving average techniques. Additionally, we have also explored the role of macroeconomic factors, such as the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate, inflation, and interest rates, in shaping market sentiment.

Results and Discussion

Our analysis reveals that the NIFTY index has a strong correlation with the S&P BSE Sensex, the BSE Sensex, and the NSE Nifty 50 Index. In particular, the NIFTY index has been found to have a positive correlation with the S&P BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty 50 Index, suggesting that these indices also reflect market sentiment in a similar manner.

When examining the relationship between the NIFTY index and macroeconomic factors, we find that the GDP growth rate, inflation, and interest rates all have a significant impact on market sentiment. In particular, a positive GDP growth rate is found to be positively correlated with the NIFTY index, while higher inflation and interest rates are found to be negatively correlated with the index.

Our quantitative analysis of the NIFTY index reveals that it is a robust indicator of market sentiment in the Indian stock market. The NIFTY index is found to be strongly correlated with other market sentiment indicators, such as the S&P BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty 50 Index. Furthermore, our analysis also indicates that macroeconomic factors, such as GDP growth rate, inflation, and interest rates, play a significant role in shaping market sentiment.

In light of our findings, investors and market participants should pay close attention to these factors when making investment decisions and formulating their market strategy. Additionally, our analysis also highlights the importance of continued monitoring of the NIFTY index and its relationship with other market sentiment indicators to stay informed about market trends and potential investment opportunities.
