However, the BSE is not all about glory. It also had its down times.

Last year, when the Bank of China (BOC) suddenly devalued the Yuan, the BSE has also lost more than 1,700 points in just one session. With China being Asia’s largest economy, the decision of the BOC had a huge impact on all Asian nations.
