1 Minute In The Indian Stock Market [Infographic]

Many would say Stock Market is a weird beast. From inane jargons to green-red flickering, it all seems so fast paced and chaotic and going by the reactions of folks on the trading floor (see some here), I assume there is an iota of truth to the comparison of stock markets with  beasts.

However, one thing you cannot deny is the fact that stock markets mean frantic activity especially when it comes to money changing hands.

Good folks at YourMoneySite created a really nice infographic to provide a glimpse into the kind of stuff that goes around in Indian Stock Markets in 1 Minute. Yes! In 60 seconds alone.

WHOA!! That’s a lot of money being transected every minute. From a total turnover of Rs 29,00,00,000 every 60 seconds you can imagine the kind of activity and transactions that occur on every single trading day. The only number that is relatively low is of block deal (Read: What Is A Block Deal) but then that’s because each block deal is possibly worth thousands of rupees.

No wonder stock markets seem daunting to many people
