A stock index It is an indicator that shows how the price of a certain set of assets changes.so it takes data from several companies or sectors of a part of the market.
These indicators are mainly used by the stock exchanges of different countries around the world and each of them can be integrated by companies with specific characteristics such as having a similar market capitalization or belonging to the same industry. In addition, there are some indices that only consider 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 an entity. If investors lack confidence, stock prices tend to fall.
Likewise, they function to measure the performance of an asset manager and allow investors to compare profitability and risk; measure the opportunities of a financial asset or create portfolios.
This type of indicators began to be used at the end of the 19th century after the journalist Charles H. Dow. observed carefully how company shares tended to rise or fall in price together, so he created two indices: one that contained the 20 most important railway companies (as it was the most important industry at the time), as well as 12 shares of other types of businesses
Currently there are various indices and They can be grouped based on geographic location, sectors, company size or even asset type.For example, the US Nasdaq index is made up of the 100 largest companies mostly related to technology such as Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Alphabet (GOOG), Tesla (TSLA ), Nvidia (NVDA), PayPal (PYPL), Comcast (CMCSA), Adobe (ADBE).
Each stock index has its own way of calculating, but the main factor is the market capitalization of each company that comprises it. This is obtained by multiplying the daily value of the bond in the corresponding stock market by the total shares that are in the hands of the investors.
Companies that appear on the stock exchange are required to to present a balance sheet of its composition. This report must be submitted every three or six months, as the case may be.
Reading a stock index also means noticing its changes over time. New indices always start with a fixed value based on security prices on your start date, but not everyone follows this method. Therefore, it can lead to failures.
If one index adds 500 points in a day, while another only achieves 20, it could appear that the first had a better return. But, if the first started the day at 30,000 points and the other at 300, it can be assumed that, in percentage terms, the gains for the second were larger.
