stock market indices

Exchange performance trackers

Stock market indices are statistical measures that track the performance of a group of stocks, giving investors a snapshot of how a particular market or sector is doing.

Major indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ Composite are widely reported as indicators of overall economic health.

An index typically weights its component stocks by market capitalization or price, so changes in larger companies have greater impact on the number.

The stock market indices were down sharply after the Fed announcement.
