What is the difference between index and indices?

Both “indexes” and “indices” are acceptable plural forms of the word “index” or to refer to more than one index. Index is one of those rare words that have two different plurals in English. “Indices” is originally a Latin plural, while “Indexes” has taken the English way of making plurals, using –s or –es (Nasdaq.com).

What does indices mean in stock market?

An index is a method to track the performance of a group of assets in a standardized way. Indexes typically measure the performance of a basket of securities intended to replicate a certain area of the market – Investopedia.com

How do you trade indices?

The most popular way to trade indices is via CFDs, also known as Contracts for Difference. These financial instruments allow traders to profit both from rising and falling prices, by opening long (buy) positions, if you think an index will rise or short (sell) positions, if you think the index will fall – ThinkMarkets.com.

How is an index calculated?

The index is calculated by adding the stock prices of the 30 companies and then dividing by the divisor. The divisor changes when there are stock splits or dividends, or when a company is added or removed from the index Investopia.com.
