A stock index is a good indicative measure of market performance. Indices like the FTSE 100 and DJIA represent baskets of blue-chip stocks traded on their respective exchanges and serve as reliable indicators of overall market sentiment. When any stock within an index changes in value, it impacts the index’s overall performance. Trading indices offers the advantage of gaining exposure to a broad group of stocks, allowing traders to take a wider market view rather than focusing on individual stocks. Online CFD and futures based indices are offered on both Zentoro MetaTrader 4, 5, and cTrader Platforms.
