Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dow Jones today?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tracks 30 major US companies. Check TopFund's Global Markets page for live Dow Jones index levels updated in real time.
How do global markets affect Indian mutual funds?
Global market movements — especially US markets (S&P 500, Nasdaq) — significantly influence Indian markets. When US markets fall sharply, FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors) tend to sell Indian equities, putting pressure on Sensex and Nifty. IT-sector mutual funds are especially sensitive to Nasdaq performance.
Which global indices should Indian investors watch?
Indian investors should track: S&P 500 and Nasdaq (US tech exposure), Hang Seng (Asia sentiment), Nikkei (Japan/Asia), FTSE 100 (UK/Europe). A broad global market rally typically supports Indian equities and vice versa.
What time do global markets open in India?
US markets (NYSE/Nasdaq) open at 7:00 PM IST and close at 1:30 AM IST. European markets (FTSE, DAX) open around 1:00 PM IST. Asian markets (Nikkei, Hang Seng) open around 5:30 AM IST.
