Lets Learn : FPI holding

Today’s Daily Byte

The markets opened with a bang today, gapping up by almost 300 points, but then things took a turn. Ukraine launched a missile towards Russia, which caused a sharp reversal, and Nifty erased all of its gains from the morning session. It was initially looking like a good bounce, and there was a good probability that the market might close above the two-day high, signaling a possible follow-through. However, this hope was smashed in the second half of the day.

Despite the pullback, there are some positive signs. Nifty has found some support from the Election Day high level, and any break below this level could signal further downside. Otherwise, consolidation around this level is also a possibility, which could lead to another upward move later on.

Importance of Free float

The S&P 500 index in the US and the BSE 500 index in India are two major stock market indices, but they have significant differences, particularly in their free float market capitalization. Free float market cap refers to the portion of a company’s shares that are available for public trading.

In the case of the S&P 500, the free float is more than 90%. This means most shares are available for trading by the public, with very few held by promoters or other entities.. . . . .
