Un regard sur les indicateurs économiques

To trade stocks successfully, it's vital to understand indices, as they represent the movement of grouped stocks. Choosing one index to focus on is a smart step before beginning. Here, we explain what indices are, how they work, where they're traded, and how they differ.

Que sont les indices ?

Indices track the price performance of a collection of stocks on a stock exchange. For example, the NASDAQ, a fully electronic U.S. exchange, monitors over 3,300 firms, making it the busiest in terms of volume. The FTSE 100 covers the top 100 firms listed in London. Germany's DAX tracks 30 top companies listed in Frankfurt. When the average prices of these listed stocks increase, the index rises—and falls when they drop. Trading an index is often simpler than trading individual stocks, as it provides exposure to an entire industry or economy. All it takes is opening a single position.
