What Are Stock Indices?
A stock market index measures the performance of a specific group of stocks, providing a snapshot of a market or sector. Indices like the S&P 500 track the largest US companies, while regional indices like the DAX 40 or FTSE 100 reflect the health of the German and British economies respectively.
Indices are one of the most popular instruments for traders because they offer broad market exposure in a single position. Rather than picking individual stocks, you can trade an entire market's direction. On eToro, you trade index CFDs — meaning you can profit from both rising and falling markets.
