A stock index is a group of stocks that can be bought or sold as a single tradable instrument. Now, some traders speculate on how the price of a single asset changes. However, some choose to speculate with indices. As a group, indices can be used to indicate the health of an industry or even a country.

How to trade indices?

As stock indices are made up of groups of firms, there are a number of different factors that affect the price of the index. If the stocks that make up an index go up in value, then the price of the index will increase, and vice versa. Traders that speculate with stock indices are able to decide if an index will increase or decrease in value based on market sentiment. The price movement of an index is likely to be much smoother than other financial instruments, as one individual stock can't bring about a huge spike in price. However, there is significant volatility in stock indices as they can reflect broad political and economic shifts.
