These indicators are mainly used by the stock exchanges of various nations and each of them can be integrated by companies with specific requirements such as having a similar market capitalization or belonging to the same type of business. In addition, there are some indices that only take into account a handful of shares to determine their value or others that consider hundreds of shares.
Stock market indices serve as indicator of stock market confidence, business confidence, health of the national and global economy, and stock investment performance and shares of a company. Generally, if investors lack confidence, stock prices tend to fall.
