a stock market index It is an indicator that shows how the price of a certain set of assets is changing.for which it collects data from different companies or sectors of a market fragment.

These indicators are mainly used by the exchanges of each country and each of them can be integrated by companies with different specificities such as having a similar market capitalization or belonging to the same industry, furthermore, some indices only consider a handful of stocks to determine their value or others which consider hundreds of stocks.

Stock 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. 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 see carefully how company stocks tended to rise or fall together in price, he therefore created two indices: one that contained the 20 largest railroad companies (since that was the largest industry at the time), as well as 12 shares of other types of companies

Today in humanity there are various indices and They can join a union depending on their location, their sectors, the size of the companies or the type of assetFor example, the U.S. Nasdaq index is made up of the 100 largest companies with broad technology connections 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 in the corresponding stock market by the total number of shares outstanding in the market.

Listed companies are required to present a balance sheet of its composition. This report must be issued 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 appear with a fixed value based on stock prices on their start date, but not everyone follows this method. Therefore, it can be misleading.

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