Potent relationship between the nifty-fifty and national stock exchange sectoral indices

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the trend and pattern of the Nifty-50 and sectoral indexes. Further, an attempt has also been made to determine the causal link between the Nifty-Fifty and NSE sectoral indices. The unit root test and the Granger-causality test have been applied to investigate the causal link between the Nifty-Fifty and sectoral indices. According to the study's findings, the banking Sector outperformed all other indexes, followed by the information technology sector, while the FMCG and media sectors underperformed. The Nifty-Fifty has been shown to be less volatile than other sectoral indices, although banking sector indices have exhibited the highest volatility over the research period.
