Share Market Insights: Stay updated on Market Movements with Angel One

What is Share Market?

The share market is the platform where you can buy and sell shares of companies. ‘Shares’ refer to portions of the ownership of the company. This means once you buy a share of a company, you start owning a part of the company. The larger the number of shares you buy, the greater the portion of the company that you own. As the overall value of the company increases or decreases, the value of the share that you hold will also increase or decrease respectively.

What are NSE and BSE in the Share Market?

Exchanges are platforms for the smooth and ethical functioning of the share market. Examples of such exchanges in India include the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Shares of companies that are listed on the exchange can be traded publicly. The existence of such exchanges allows us to track the stock market live and trade them seamlessly.

Note:The terms ‘share market’ and ‘stock market’ mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

Types of Share Markets

You can divide the share market into two sections -

  1. Primary share market - When a stock is listed and opened for trading for the first time, it is said to be available in the primary market.
  2. Secondary share market - When a stock has already been traded in the share market, it is said to be available in the secondary market.

You can also categorise the share market in the following two ways -

These are indices composed of the weighted value of a combination of stocks on an exchange. For example:

  • Nifty50 is an index showing the weighted value of the top 50 stocks listed on the NSE, as per their free-float market capitalisation and other criteria.
  • Sensex is an index showing the weighted value of the stocks of the 30 largest companies listed on the BSE, as per free-float market capitalisation and other criteria like trading volumes and healthy balance sheets.
  • Similarly, Bank Nifty or Nifty Bank is an index made of 12 of the biggest bank stocks in India.

You can trade in ETFs and mutual funds that track these indices. Or, you can trade in futures and options on some indices like Nifty, Bank Nifty and Finnifty. You can follow the share market live on this page to keep track of the movements of these indices in real-time and thereby time your trades better.
