Indices trading involves buying and selling financial instruments tied to the performance of a specific group of stocks or assets called an "index."
Investors can trade indices through financial instruments like index funds, ETFs, futures contracts, or CFDs, providing exposure to the overall market or specific sectors without buying individual stocks.
Indices trading offers diversification benefits and serves as a barometer for assessing the market or sector's performance, enabling investors to gauge the broader market sentiment and trends.
