What are Indices?
Indices are a type of investment that has been gaining popularity in recent years. An index is typically defined as a portfolio of stocks that represents a particular market or market sector. Thus, indices (also known as stock indexes) measure the price performance of a group of stocks in a specific section of the stock market. For example, the US500 is based on the 500 largest companies weighted mainly by market capitalization that are listed on the New York Exchange or NASDAQ.
What affects Indices prices?
The price movements and volatility of indices are impacted by a range of factors, such as political events, major events that affect companies in a particular sector, economic data like employment figures, and big changes in the currency markets.
