a stock market index It is an indicator that is used to know the evolution of the value of a certain set of assets.it therefore uses data from several companies or sectors of a part of the market.

These indicators are mainly used by the exchanges of the countries and each of them can be integrated by signatures with different specificities like having a similar market capitalization or belonging to the same industry, there are also some indices that only consider a handful of stocks to determine their value or others that consider hundreds of stocks.

Stock market indices serve as indicator of confidence in stock market, business confidence, health of national and global economy and stock investment performance and shares of a company. Generally, if investors are not confident, stock prices will tend to fall.

They are also working to measure the performance of an asset manager and allow investors to compare profitability and risk; measure the opportunities of a financial asset or create portfolios.

These types of indicators began to be used at the end of the 19th century after the journalist Charles H. Dow. To carefully analyze how company stock prices tended to rise or fall together, he created two indexes: one that contained the 20 largest railway companies (as it was the most important industry in the era), as well as 12 shares of other types of companies

There are currently various indices and they can group together based on geography, industries, company size or even asset classFor example, the American Nasdaq index is made up of the 100 largest companies mainly related to technology such as Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Alphabet (GOOG), Tesla (TSLA ), Nvidia (NVDA), PayPal (PYPL), Comcast (CMCSA), Adobe (ADBE).

Each stock index has its own calculation method, but the main factor is the market capitalization of each company that incorporates it. This is obtained by multiplying the daily value of the bond on the corresponding stock market by the total number of shares that are on the market.

Listed companies are required to present a balance sheet of its composition. This report must be published every three or six months, as the case may be.

Reading a stock market index also means observing its evolution over time. New indices always open at a fixed value based on security prices on their start date, but not everyone follows this method. Therefore, it can be misleading.

If one index gains 500 points in one day, while another adds only 20, it may appear that the former has outperformed. However, if the first started the day at 30,000 points and the other at 300, we can assume that in percentage terms the gains for the second were considerable.
