An index tracks the performance of a group of securities or assets. Indices can be grouped based on factors such as the asset class, industry, market capitalisation, geographical location, and more.
Engaging in index trading through Contracts for Difference (CFDs) provides traders with the opportunity to capitalise on the rise or fall of a diverse group of assets, whether you are from India, Phillipines or beyond.
Trading stock market indices CFDs also offers greater diversification when compared to trading individual shares as stock market indices represent a specific section of the stock market, offering a glimpse into the performance of that sector.
Some of the most traded stock market indices include:
Indices are useful because they help investors gauge the general state of a country’s economy. Investors in the US, for example, may look to indices like the S&P 500 to gain an understanding of how the US economy is performing. Likewise, UK investors may look to the FTSE 100 and German investors may look to the DAX 30.
You can’t invest in indices directly, but you can go short or long on an index through a CFD product. To short an index means to sell the product in the anticipation that the price will fall. To go long on an index means to buy the product in the anticipation that the price will rise. The great benefit of shorting or longing CFD indices is that you can trade on the price movements in either direction.
A price movement in an index results from the price movements of the companies within it.
Various factors can cause price movements, including economic data, geopolitical events, and market sentiment. Usually, when investors are bullish, there will be more buyers than sellers, leading to an increase in stock prices. However, when investors are bearish, it usually results in more sellers than buyers, which will lead to stock prices falling.
Simply put, if more stocks within an index are declining in price, the value of an index will drop. Conversely, if more stocks are rising in price, it will cause an index to jump in value.
