Indices FAQs

How indices trading works

Indices track the performance of a group of assets — typically equities — giving exposure to an entire market or sector through a single position. The US 500 tracks the largest 500 US-listed companies. The UK 100 tracks the largest on the London Stock Exchange. A position on either reflects expectations about that market as a whole.

Index futures allow positions to be taken on the expected future price of an index rather than the current spot price, making them relevant for trading around earnings seasons, economic data releases or macroeconomic events.

Indices can be traded as CFDs — contracts that track the underlying index price without requiring ownership of the constituent stocks.

What the indices market offers

Indices provide broad market exposure in a single position rather than requiring analysis of individual companies. Global indices cover a wide range of markets and economies, from the US 500 and US Tech 100 to the Germany 40 and Japan 225.

Index futures extend that offering with different contract structures and trading hours, relevant for traders with a longer-term directional view or those looking to hedge existing market exposure. Leverage is available on index CFDs and futures, which amplifies both profits and losses.
