We bet you didn’t know that “indices” is the plural form of “index”! Its purpose is to monitor stock markets, thus helping traders do their job efficiently. An index measures price changes in the stock market of your preference, which makes it a very practical trading instrument as it makes it possible for traders to act in accordance with the expected direction of the market. The 2 main indices are Global and National. Its names are self-explanatory - the former measures price changes on a global level, whereas the latter does it within countries.
