An index acts as a benchmark that tracks the performance of a specific group of stocks or markets, offering a snapshot of how a particular segment is performing. Rather than monitoring individual stocks, traders can use indices to gauge the overall movement of the market or a specific sector. At IndexTrades, we provide access to a variety of international indices, including the UK FTSE, the US Dow Jones, the Hong Kong Hang Seng, and more. This extensive range allows traders to select the index that best fits their trading strategies and preferences.
