Long-history series are stored as real provider observations. Index, FX, VIX, and ratio charts use historical backfill where providers expose it; Korean investor flow and margin-credit feeds expand as stable historical endpoints become available.

The ten latest chart observations. Change subtracts the previous observation; intervals vary with holidays, release schedules and missing data. A difference in rates or ratios is not an investment return.

Interpretation guide
India's SENSEX: watching the global growth axis shift
The SENSEX tracks thirty large caps on the Bombay Stock Exchange. Backed by the world's largest population and high growth, India has become the main alternative to China in EM allocations, and Korean investors' India exposure via funds and ETFs is growing fast — making the index a rudder for EM flows.
What the index contains
Financials, IT services, energy, and consumer names anchor the index. Unlike export-driven Korea or Taiwan, India's domestic tilt makes it a defensive-growth market that holds up relatively well in global slowdowns.
- Large Indian IT-services names track US corporate spending, offering a window on global demand.
- With a big domestic-consumption base, rising oil prices are the classic headwind.
- Steady domestic SIP (systematic investment plan) inflows are a structural support for the market.
What it means for Korean investors
India's industries barely overlap Korea's, so it diversifies more than it competes. When global money rotates from China to India, Korea moves as part of the same EM basket — and Korean companies' Indian production and sales keep growing.
- SENSEX-versus-Hang Seng relative strength maps the China-to-India allocation shift.
- For Korean companies with growing Indian revenue — Samsung, Hyundai — Indian demand is a growth story.
- In broad EM outflow phases, India is not exempt; watch the basket, not just the story.
Uses and misreads
India trades at structurally high valuations, so buying the growth story alone exposes you to outsized swings. Read growth, valuation, and foreign flows together.
- Foreign selling turning net negative at high valuations has preceded corrections.
- Rupee weakness erodes foreigners' real returns and can accelerate outflows.
- Don't extrapolate Indian strength to all EM — check other emerging indexes alongside.
