Trade the Pulse of the Global Economy

Indices group multiple stocks into a single instrument to track the performance of a market or sector. They are commonly used as benchmarks and give traders access to major regions such as the US, Europe and Asia through one CFD, rather than many separate positions.
Index prices reflect changing expectations about economic growth, earnings and interest rates. Volatility can increase around big news events, and price gaps may occur between sessions. Over longer periods, major indices have often shown upward trends, but past performance does not guarantee future results.
