Stock market indices… why?

stock index it is an indicator of how the price of a particular set of assets changesso it uses data from different companies or sectors of the market segment.

These indicators are mainly used by the stock markets of various countries around the world and firms with different specificities can integrate each of them such as having a similar market capitalization or related to the same type of industry, there are also some indices that only consider a handful of shares to determine their value or others that weigh hundreds of shares.

Stock market indices act as indicator of stock market confidence, business confidence, health of the national and global economy and performance of share investments and company shares. If investors lack confidence, share prices tend to fall.

They also work for the asset manager performance and allow profitability and risk to be compared; the opportunities of measuring a financial asset or creating portfolios.

This type of indicator began to be used in the late 19th century after journalist Charles H. Dow. he carefully researched how the stocks of the companies tended to go up or down in price together, so he created two indices: one in which the top 20 railway companies were (the largest industry at the time ), as well as 12 acts of other types of firms.

If one index rises 500 points per day, and another index only adds 20, it may appear that the first index exceeded. However, if the first day started at 30,000 points and the next day at 300, it can be deduced that, in percentage terms, the gains for the latter were more significant.
