What is indices trading?
An index tracks the combined performance of a group of companies within a market or sector. Rather than trading individual shares, indices trading lets you speculate on broader market movement using index CFDs (contracts for difference).
Popular global indices include:
- Dow Jones Industrial Average - major US blue-chip companies
- S&P 500 - broad US market benchmark
- Nasdaq 100 - technology-focused US equities
- Nikkei 225 - Japanese market exposure
- FTSE 100 - leading UK-listed companies
Traders watch indices closely around economic data releases, corporate earnings, central bank policy, interest rate decisions and inflation figures.
