Index markets

Follow equity benchmarks without relying on a single stock.

Indices reflect baskets of companies and can help traders express views on sectors, economic cycles, earnings trends, and broad risk appetite.

Indices

Index traders should look beyond the headline level. Breadth, sector leadership, volatility, bond yields, and economic data often explain whether a move has durable support.

Typical instruments

US 500 and Nasdaq-style technology benchmarks
European benchmarks such as Germany 40
Regional and Saudi equity benchmarks
Volatility-sensitive index CFDs
