What are Indices ?
Indices offer a great way for you to trade on the overall value of a regional index without having to analyse individual companies or stocks. The index itself represents the value of a group of stocks from one country and shows the overall, current, and historical performance of that stock index.
There are many types of indices available to trade at spot price or through forward trading. Economic news such as interest rate freezes, inflation and rises in spending can all cause the value of Indices to rise or fall. In some respects, bigger companies can affect the performance of a particular index due to their size and market dominance.
