Welcome to IndianMarket: the market, explained after the bell
A daily desk for Indian markets: what moved, why it moved, and what it does and doesn't mean for Nifty, Bank Nifty and Sensex.
Learn the market
All explainers →- Open interest, explained: what OI can and can't tell a trader
OI counts contracts still open, not money in the market. Here's how to read it alongside price, and the traps that catch most traders.
- The put-call ratio is a mood gauge, not a signal
PCR compares put and call open interest. Here's how it's calculated, why the same reading can mean opposite things, and how to use it sensibly.
- Nifty, Bank Nifty, Sensex: what each index actually measures
Three numbers dominate every Indian market headline. They're built differently, weighted differently, and don't always move together.
The desk's three rules
- Facts first
- Numbers come from the exchange or a named source, or they don't run.
- Explain the why
- Every move gets context: what happened, and what it does and doesn't mean.
- No tips, no calls
- We explain markets. We don't tell you what to buy or sell.
