Live Markets: Nifty, Sensex & World Indices
One page for the numbers that matter: Indian and global indices, currency, gold and crude, refreshed every minute, plus a chart to compare any stocks side by side.
Data from public market feeds and may be delayed by up to 15 minutes depending on the exchange. For information only, not investment advice or a basis for trading decisions.
The chart normalises every symbol to percentage change from the start of the selected range, so a ₹2,900 stock and an 80,000-point index can be compared fairly on one scale.
What this dashboard shows
The board tracks the indices and assets Indian and global investors check daily: Nifty 50, Sensex and Bank Nifty for India; the S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq for the US; FTSE 100 and Nikkei 225 for Europe and Asia; plus USD-INR, gold, Brent crude and Bitcoin. Prices refresh automatically every 60 seconds while the page is open.
How the comparison chart works
Raw prices cannot be compared directly: Reliance near ₹3,000 and the Sensex near 80,000 would make any joint chart useless. The chart therefore rebases every symbol to its percentage change from the first day of your selected range. If two lines end at +12% and +4%, the first asset outperformed the second by 8 percentage points over that period, regardless of their absolute price levels. This is the same technique used in professional fund factsheets.
Symbol tips
Search by company name and pick from the list. Indian NSE stocks carry the .NS suffix (RELIANCE.NS, TCS.NS), BSE listings use .BO, US stocks are plain tickers (AAPL, MSFT), and indices start with ^ (^NSEI for Nifty 50, ^GSPC for the S&P 500). You can freely mix them: comparing an Indian stock against the Nifty shows whether it actually beat the market.
Honest limitations
Quotes come from public market data feeds and can be delayed up to 15 minutes depending on the exchange’s licensing. Index levels outside market hours show the last close. This page is a fast reference for levels and relative performance, not a trading terminal: order decisions should use your broker’s real-time data.
Practical comparisons worth running
A few comparisons on the chart answer questions people usually only argue about. Nifty 50 vs S&P 500 over 5 years shows whether Indian or US large caps rewarded you more, before currency effects. A single stock vs its index over 1 year shows whether the stock actually beat the market or just rode it. Gold vs Nifty over 5 years shows what the "safe" asset really cost or earned. USD-INR over 5 years quantifies how much of a US fund’s INR return came from rupee depreciation rather than the market itself.
Understanding index levels vs returns
The Sensex crossing a round number makes headlines, but levels alone say nothing without time. An index moving from 70,000 to 80,000 is a 14.3% gain; from 20,000 to 30,000 was a 50% gain even though the point move was smaller. That is exactly why the comparison chart is denominated in percent, and why our CAGR calculator, linked below, is the right lens for anything you have held over multiple years.
Frequently asked questions
Are these prices real-time?
They refresh every 60 seconds from public market feeds. Some exchanges license true real-time data only to brokers, so quotes can be delayed up to 15 minutes. Treat the figures as reference levels, not tradeable prices.
How do I add an Indian stock to the comparison?
Type the company name in the search box and select the entry with the .NS suffix for NSE (for example RELIANCE.NS) or .BO for BSE. Up to four symbols can be charted together.
Why does the chart show percentages instead of prices?
Because comparing a ₹500 stock with an 80,000-point index needs a common scale. Rebasing everything to percent change from the start of the range makes relative performance directly visible.
Can I compare a stock against the Nifty or S&P 500?
Yes. Add the stock and the index (^NSEI for Nifty 50, ^GSPC for S&P 500) to the same chart. If the stock’s line ends above the index’s, it outperformed the market over that period.
