What are indices?

How to trade stock indices?

Track market performance and trade leading global indices.

A stock index is an aggregated indicator of the value of a group of stocks and reflects the overall movement of a particular market or sector of the economy. Traders use indices to evaluate market conditions, identify trends, and anticipate future movements.

Indices are not physical assets, so they cannot be bought or sold directly. Instead, trading is carried out through CFDs – contracts for difference. This approach allows traders to profit from both rising and falling markets while applying flexible strategies and leverage to enhance potential returns.

Benefits of index trading

Indices offer a lower risk than trading individual stocks because they reflect the overall movement of a group of companies. This makes them less sensitive to sudden price fluctuations of a single stock and generally more stable for long-term strategies.

Index trading also provides strong portfolio diversification, enabling you to cover a wide range of economic sectors and reduce the impact of volatility. Onkel Invest provides access to leading global indices including S&P 500, NASDAQ, FTSE, DAX and others, helping clients build balanced investment strategies and take advantage of global market opportunities.
