Indices Trading
Trade global indices CFD with low costs and tight spread on Ohio Markets.
What Are Indices?
An index tracks the performance of a group of assets—most commonly stocks—based on criteria such as industry sector, market capitalisation, or geographic region. Instead of reflecting the performance of a single company, an index represents the broader movement of a specific market or segment.
When trading Indices via CFDs (Contracts for Difference), you can speculate on price movements—whether the index rises or falls—without owning the underlying shares.
Trading index CFDs offers greater diversification compared to trading individual stocks, as indices reflect the performance of multiple companies at once. This makes them a popular choice for traders seeking exposure to overall market trends or specific sectors.
Popular Stock Market Indices
Some of the most widely traded global indices include:
DJ30 (Dow Jones Industrial Average)
The DJ30 tracks 30 of the largest and most established blue-chip companies in the United States, providing insight into the performance of major US corporations.
NASDAQ 100
The NASDAQ 100 includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed in the US, with a strong focus on technology and innovation. It features global leaders such as Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft.
S&P 500
The S&P 500 represents 500 of the largest publicly traded companies in the US and is widely regarded as a key benchmark for the overall health of the US stock market.
Why Indices Matter
Indices are commonly used as benchmarks to measure market performance and compare individual securities or portfolios. They help traders and investors identify broader market trends, assess economic conditions, and make more informed trading decisions.
