Global Market Coverage
Market Pulse provides real-time data from 12 major world markets, covering key exchanges in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Each market page shows index performance, volatility indicators, and where available, sector heatmaps. For the Indian market, we also track FII/DII institutional flows and Nifty Put-Call Ratio — unique sentiment indicators not available for other markets.
FII/DII Activity
Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) and Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) are the two largest categories of institutional money flowing into Indian markets. FII data represents foreign capital — hedge funds, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds investing in Indian equities. DII data represents domestic mutual funds, insurance companies, and banks. Tracking their net buying or selling gives traders insight into institutional sentiment.
Volatility Indices
The Volatility Index (VIX) measures the market's expectation of 30-day forward-looking volatility. India VIX is derived from Nifty options prices, while the CBOE VIX is derived from S&P 500 options. A low VIX (below 15) suggests calm markets, while a high VIX (above 25) indicates turbulence. Experienced traders adjust position sizing and stop losses based on VIX levels.
Sector Heatmaps
Sector heatmaps display the performance of major market sectors at a glance. Each sector block is sized by its relative weight and colored by its daily percentage change. Traders use heatmaps to identify rotation patterns and align their trades with the strongest areas of the market. Sector data is available on the India and US market pages.
