About Indices Trading
An Indices is most regularly defined as a portfolio of stocks that represents a particular market or market sector. Thus, indices (also known as stock indices) measure the price performance of a group of stocks in a specific section of PalaceFX. The purpose of the indices is to show the general direction of a specific stock market or the general economy of a nation. However, since stock indices are composed of a basket of companies, they can be very much affected by the big move of a specific company or by the big move of a specific sector of trade.
Trading indices enable you to get exposure to an entire sector by opening a single position. Indices price movements and volatility are impacted by a range of factors like political events, major events that affect companies in a particular sector, economic data like employment figures, and big changes in the currency markets. At PalaceFX we offer you the opportunity to trade derivatives on major indices across global equity markets.
