MARKET INDICES
Access the world's leading stock indices through a single WebTrader platform. An index compresses a basket of shares into one number, giving a live read on a sector — or a whole economy.
Understanding Indices
MANY STOCKS, ONE NUMBER
An index compresses dozens or hundreds of individual stocks into one tradable value, offering a snapshot of a sector or an economy at a glance.
Since an index is a calculated figure rather than a physical asset, it's usually accessed via CFDs, futures or ETFs — used both to take a directional view and to hedge a wider portfolio.

Nothing Physical to Hold
An index exists only as a number — you're trading its movement, not a physical holding.
