The index's composite figure is computed by measuring the market value of all common stocks listed on the NASDAQ.
Index numbers are usually expressed by setting some selected value as 100 and converting all other numbers to an index relative to that base.So, for a simple index, if the value y(0) is set to 100, then the index for the value y(k) is y(k)/y(0)*100.The calculations become more complicated if the index is for a collection of items. In such cases, a number of different "sub-indices" need to be combined together. The combined index is calculated as a weighted average of the component sub-indices, with the weights based on the importance of each su-index in the base period (base-weighted) or in the current period (current-weighted).

Since futures contracts on a market index expire only once a month, Fair Value is the Forward Value (at the time of a futures contract expiration) of an index spot price, where compounding takes into account time to expiration and dividends lost due to holding index futures rather than underlying stocks. If Fair Value before the open is lower than the futures contract price, you may expect that a market index will go higher after the opening bell.

BSE Index or SENSEX: The BSE Index or the Sensex as it is popularly known, is the index of the performance of the 30 largest & most profitable, popular companies listed in the index. Each company that is part of the index has its own weightage in the value of the Index. Since the number of companies is lesser, the index variations are higher when compared to the Nifty index.
