What Is Index Trading?
Stock market indices give the measure of a specific stock market.Investors can find out the expected returns over time by comparing the current and historic index levels. Every stock exchange in the world has a benchmark stock index, while some have several.
It is impossible to track all the companies listed on a stock exchange, which is why traders resort to index trading. Through trading indices, they are able to measure the overall performance of the stock market of the country and the economy in general.
