What are indices?
Indices are benchmarks that measure the performance of a group of stocks representing a specific market or sector. By trading indices, you gain exposure to major global economies and industries’ performance without investing in individual stocks.
Trading indices allow you to speculate on the movement of entire markets, whether they’re rising or falling. With Trade Nation, you can access a wide range of indices, including the FTSE 100, S&P 500, NASDAQ, DAX 40, and more.
