A stock index It is an indicator that shows how the value of a set of assets changes.so it takes data from different companies or sectors of a part of the market.

These indicators are mainly used by the countries’ stock exchanges and each of them can be integrated by companies with specific characteristics to have a similar market value or to belong to the same type of industry. Likewise, there are some indices that only consider a handful of stocks to determine their value, or others that take into account hundreds of stocks.

Stock market index serves as indicator of stock market confidence, business confidence, the health of the national and global economy and stock investment performance and shares in an entity. If investors lack confidence, stock prices will tend to fall.

They also work for measuring performance of an asset manager and allow investors to make a comparison between profitability and risk; measure the possibilities of a financial asset or create portfolios.

This type of indicators began to be used in the late 19th century after journalist Charles H. Dow. carefully analyzed how company stocks tended to rise or fall together, so he created two indexes: one containing the 20 main railroad companies (since that was the most important industry at the time), as well as 12 stocks of other types of companies

Currently in our economy there are various indices and They can be associated based on their geographical location, sectors, company size or also the type of assetFor example, the US Nasdaq index consists of the 100 largest companies mainly 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 calculation, but the main component is the market value of each company that comprises it. This is achieved by multiplying today’s value of the security on the corresponding stock market by the total number of shares held by the investors.

Companies that appear on the stock market are obliged to present a balance sheet of its composition. The report shall be published every three or six months, as appropriate.

Reading a stock index also requires paying attention to its development over time. Current index always starts with a fixed value based on share prices on your start date, but not everyone follows this method. Therefore, it can be a source of misunderstandings.

If one index gains 500 points in one day, while another gains only 20, it may appear that the first did better. But if the first started the day at 30,000 points and the second at 300, it can be assumed that the gains for the second were percentage-wise larger.
