Market History: RBI, Fed, Budget and SEBI decisions since 2019, with sources

The major decisions and shocks that met the Indian market since 2019, each with its date, the NSE session that first traded it, and a link to its source.

What the list holds

Hundreds of dated events in six types: RBI policy, US Fed, Budget and tax, SEBI and F&O rules, India (political and security events) and Global (other central banks, wars, trade, oil, credit stress, US inflation releases and the like). It is a curated list rather than a news feed: each row is a decision or a shock that mattered to the market, written in a sentence or two.

Every event names its source

Each row links to where it comes from and says what kind of source that is. An Official source is the decision-maker's own page: the RBI, the Federal Reserve, the Budget documents, a SEBI circular. A News report is a reputable outlet reporting the event, used where there is no official page. The wording says what was decided. It never says how the market took it, because that is for the price data to state.

The date it happened, and the session it met

A Fed decision arrives after NSE has closed, so the first session to trade it is the next morning. A Budget on a Saturday met a special session that day. Each event shows its date, its time in IST where known, and, when they differ, the session that first traded it. That session is the day the backtests count as the event day.

Find an event

  • Type chips. Turn one or more event types on, each with its count.
  • Year. Any single year from 2019, or all of them.
  • Search. Matches the title, the detail and the source name.
  • Newest first. The list opens on the most recent events and loads older ones on request. The type and year you choose are remembered in your browser.

Where the list is used

The same events drive event backtesting, which runs a strategy on the sessions around chosen event types. The backtester can also run only on event days, skip them, or add the session after each one, and it marks event days on its equity curve and day list. An event tag in a backtest result opens this page at that event.

What Market History does not tell you

It does not say whether an event moved the market up or down, by how much, or what it will do next time. It is not a calendar of results dates: company board meetings come from NSE's own file and are not in this list. For 2019 to 2023 the app's holiday calendar is not yet complete, so an event on an exchange holiday in those years can be placed on the holiday itself rather than the next session.

Market History questions

What is Market History in EzyOptions?

A sourced list of the major decisions and shocks since 2019 that met the Indian market: RBI and US Fed decisions, Budgets and tax changes, SEBI F&O rule changes, Indian political and security events, and global shocks. Each event shows its date, the NSE session that first traded it and a link to its source.

Where do the events come from?

Each one links to its source. Most are the decision-maker's own page, such as the RBI, the Federal Reserve or a SEBI circular, and are labelled Official source. The rest are reputable news reports, labelled News report.

Why is an event's trading session sometimes a different day?

Because the market could not trade it the same day. A US Fed decision lands after the NSE close, and a decision on a weekend meets the next open. The list shows the session that first traded each event, and the backtests count that session as the event day.

Does Market History say how NIFTY reacted to each event?

No. The wording says only what was decided. How the index moved is shown by the price data, for example in the index study on the event backtesting page.
