What is an index?
An index is a tool consisting of a basket of stocks that are grouped according to common criteria. Indexes can be traded, and stocks of companies can be analyzed based on them.
How are indexes calculated?
There are several methods used to calculate indexes: based on capitalization or based on the value of stocks. In the first case, companies with large capitalization will affect the asset's price, while in the second case, more expensive stocks will increase the index's value.
What factors affect the price of an index?
Since the index consists of many stocks, its value can be affected by companies' financial reports, changes in the firm's structure, changes in management, and so on. Economic and geopolitical news can also cause the index to soar or plummet.
