Because the index has significant exposure to financials and materials, shifts in banking policy and commodity demand can move the level. Investors also monitor currency fluctuations and international benchmarks such as the Ibovespa, KOSPI, S&P/ASX 200, Nifty 50, Shanghai SSE Composite, Hang Seng Index, and BSE Sensex for broader context.
