A stock index It is an indicator used to know the development of the value of a certain set of assetsso it uses data from different companies or sectors in a part of the market.

These indicators are mainly used by the stock exchanges of various nations and each of them can be integrated by companies with specific requirements having a similar market value or belonging to the same type of company Likewise, there are some indices that only take into account 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 a company. In general, if investors lack confidence, stock prices will tend to fall.

They also work for measuring performance of an asset manager and allow investors to compare 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 studied 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

At the moment in humanity there are various indices and They can associate based on their geography, sectors, company size or even the type of assetFor example, the US Nasdaq index consists of the 100 largest companies largely 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 factor is the market value of each company that includes 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 listed on the stock exchange are obliged to present a balance sheet of its composition. This report shall be published every three or six months, as appropriate.

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

If one index sees an increase of 500 points in one day while another only adds 20, it may appear that the first had a better return. However, 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.
