Indices

Indices, or an index, are a specific set of stocks that reflect the economic performance of a particular geographic region or industry. For example, the S&P 500 is an index that represents the top 500 companies operating out of the U.S. When you trade indices, you are able to easily capitalize on a geographic region or economic sector by opening just one position in the market. This saves you the time and effort to analyze each stock that makes up an index.

With EquityMarket365, you can trade index CFDs. With a CFD, or contract for difference, you are able to take advantage of the price fluctuations in indices without being required to actually possess the market assets that make up that index. As a trader, it is also interesting to note that indices are often more liquid than the individual stocks that make up the index. As such, this could mean you are able to trade at better prices which could result in higher profits.
