Stock Index
A stock index is a group of stocks that can be traded as a single instrument. Some traders focus on individual assets, while others prefer to speculate on indices.
Indices can represent the performance of an industry or an entire country. For example, the DAX 40 tracks 40 major German companies and reflects the German stock market.
Some indices track specific sectors, such as the US Tech 100, which represents technology companies listed on Nasdaq.

How to trade stock indices?
Since indices consist of multiple companies, their price depends on the performance of underlying stocks.
If most stocks rise, the index rises, and vice versa.
Indices tend to have smoother price movements but can still be volatile due to economic and political factors.
Traders speculate on whether the index will rise or fall and can profit accordingly.
