What are Indices Trading?

Stock indices track the performance of a group of companies, representing the overall health of a market or sector. Popular examples include the S&P 500 in the U.S., the FTSE 100 in the U.K., and the DAX 40 in Germany.

When you trade index CFDs, you’re speculating on the movement of an entire market rather than individual stocks. This provides a simple way to diversify your trading portfolio and capture opportunities from broad market trends, all without owning the underlying shares.
