Here’s Why Nifty 50 Shot Up in the Last 1 Hour!

Aayush Khanna/Investing.com - Investing.com

The benchmark Nifty 50 index continued to scale to newer highs as the bull run kept investors’  confidence intact. After opening on a positive note, for the most part of the day, the Nifty 50 index almost traded sideways with a bullish tilt. However, before going into the session’s close both the Nifty and Sensex shot up aggressively.

At around 2:45 PM IST, the Nifty was trading at 18,685 but within the next few minutes, it soared to a high of 18,810, gaining more than 100 points. The reason behind such a sharp rally was the rebalancing of the MSCI (Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS ) Capital International) India Index. It is an index of India-based equities that gets rebalanced periodically, just like other indices.

After the rebalancing, a total of 11 stocks were added to the index while 1 was removed - from the MSCI India Domestic Index. While from the MSCI Domestic Smallcap Index, a total of 43 new securities were added and 16 were excluded. So ultimately, there was a net inclusion of 17 securities that took place in today’s session.  

On 10 November 2022, MSCI issued the list of securities that were to replace some of the existing ones in the index. However, the rebalancing was to take place today, in the last ~30 minutes before the closing. The new changes would be taking place from the next session, i.e. tomorrow, 1 December 2022. Due to this change in the index, the passive funds that use this MSCI index as their benchmark also had to adhere to the rebalancing.

These passive funds do not have any other option as their sole purpose is to match the returns of the index, not to outperform. Hence, the new securities that were to be added today witnessed a high demand from these funds to be included in their portfolios.   

This was one of the reasons. The second probable reason was the speculation of the Q2 FY23 GDP numbers of India, which came after the market. India recorded a YoY GDP growth of 6.3% in the July-September 2022 quarter, a noticeable slowdown compared to an 8.4% growth in the same quarter last year. Although, this does not seem to make any dent in the SGX Nifty price, which is currently stable, trading at 18,907, by 6:53 PM IST.
