Trade Global Indices

Trade the performance of entire stock markets including UK 100, US 500, US Tech 100, and Germany 40. Indices reflect the overall health of an economy or sector, making them ideal for broader market exposure with a single position.

What are indices, and how to trade them

An index tracks the collective performance of a basket of shares, typically representing a specific market, region, or sector. For example, the US 500 measures 500 of the largest publicly traded companies in the United States, while the Germany 40 captures the leading firms on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. When you trade an index, you are speculating on the overall movement of that market rather than betting on individual company performance. This provides instant diversification and makes indices a popular choice for traders seeking broad exposure without the need to research dozens of individual stocks. Indices can be traded via CFDs or Spread bets, giving you the flexibility to go long or short depending on your market outlook and access to 24-hour trading on major global benchmarks.
