a stock index It is an indicator that shows how the price of a set of assets changesso it takes data from different companies or sectors of a fragment of the market.
These indicators are used mainly by the stock markets of different countries of the world and each of them can be integrated by firms with specific characteristics such as having a similar market capitalization or belonging to the same type of business, in addition, there are some indices that only take into account a handful of shares to determine their value or others that consider hundreds of shares.
Stock indices serve as indicator of confidence in the stock market, business confidence, the health of the national and global economy and the performance of investments in shares and shares of an entity. Generally, if investors are not confident, stock prices tend to fall.
They also work to measure the performance of an asset manager and allow investors to make a comparison between profitability and risk; measure the opportunities of a financial asset or create portfolios.
These types of indicators began to be used at the end of the 19th century after the journalist Charles H. Dow. To carefully investigate how the shares of companies tended to rise or fall together in price, he created two indices: one that contained the 20 largest railway companies (as it was the most important industry at the time), as well as 12 shares of other types of businesses
Today in our economy there are various indices and They can be grouped based on their geography, sectors, company size or asset typeFor example, the US Nasdaq index is made up of the 100 largest largely technology-related companies such as Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Alphabet (GOOG), Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), PayPal (PYPL), Comcast (CMCSA), Adobe (ADBE).
Each stock index has its own way of being measured, but the main component is the market capitalization of each company that integrates it. This is obtained by multiplying the value of the title on the corresponding stock market by the total number of shares that are in the hands of investors.
Companies listed on the stock market are required to present a balance of its composition. Said report must be notified every three or six months, as the case may be.
Reading a stock index also requires examining its variations over time. New indices always start with a fixed value based on security prices on their start date, but not everyone follows this method. Therefore, it can appear misleading.
If one index grows 500 points in one day, while another only adds 20, it might appear that the former outperformed. However, if the first started the day at 30,000 points and the other at 300, it can be concluded that, in percentage terms, the gains for the second were more remarkable.
