The November 2016 audit — what every major index and every sector did across the month's 21 sessions, all measured from the 2016-10-28 close to the 2016-11-30 close.
An account of 21 sessions, best to worst:
• Sensex — -4.61%, close 26652.81
• Bank Nifty — -4.75%, close 18627.80
• Nifty 50 — -4.79%, close 8224.50
• Nifty 500 — -5.53%, close 7079.40
• Midcap 100 — -5.90%, close 14907.10
Of the Nifty's 21 sessions, 10 were up and 11 down. The best day was 2016-11-25 (+1.87%), the worst 2016-11-11 (-2.69%).
There were 24.7 percentage points between the best and the worst sector:
• Metal — +4.50%
• IT — +0.39%
• PSU Bank — +0.07%
• Pharma — -4.25%
• Bank — -4.75%
• FMCG — -4.92%
• Media — -10.54%
• Realty — -20.24%
That spread is worth attention: the index recorded -4.79%, but Metal was at +4.50% and Realty at -20.24%. Within one and the same month, this was an entirely different month for two portfolios.
India VIX ranged between 15.46 and 20.15 during the month and closed at 16.85. The deepest peak-to-trough fall in the Nifty inside the month was -8.1% — so despite the month's net number of -4.79%, a decline of that depth was seen along the way.
