About Indices
The indicator calculated based on a specific basket of shares is called a stock index. It is necessary to understand exactly which securities form each indicator. By using the same tools that are utilized in calculating the indicator, the trader can form a more accurate prediction. The stock index is a powerful indicator that shows the overall trends and rates of change in the market share prices of a specific sector of the economy. For example, an increase in oil prices is likely to lead to an increase in the value of the assets of oil-producing companies.
