An index is most routinely characterized as a portfolio of stocks that represents a specific market or market segment. Thus indices (moreover known as stock indexes) measure the price performance of a bunch of stocks of a particular segment of stock market. The USA500, for illustration, is based on the 500 biggest companies weighted primarily by market capitalization that are listed on the New York Exchange or NASDAQ.
Indices price movements and instability are affected by a range of variables like political events, major events that influence companies in a particular sector, economic data like employment figures and enormous changes within the currencies markets. Trading indices enables you to get exposure to an entire segment by opening a single position
