About Indices Trading
An Indices is most regularly defined as a portfolio of stocks that represents a particular market or market sector. Thus, indices (also known as stock indices) measure the price performance of a group of stocks in a specific section of Ultimate-Traders. The purpose of the indices is to show the general direction of a specific stock market or the general economy of a nation. However, since stock indices are composed of a basket of companies, they can be very much affected by the big move of a specific company or by the big move of a specific sector of trade.
Trading indices enable you to get exposure to an entire sector by opening a single position. Indices price movements and volatility are impacted by a range of factors like political events, major events that affect companies in a particular sector, economic data like employment figures, and big changes in the currency markets.
