All index instruments
How the index market works.
An exchange's leading shares in one price; you take a direction, not the shares.
Basket and points
An index is one value computed from the prices of selected shares, expressed in points. US500 follows the big US companies, DE40 Germany's leading ones.
Cash and futures index
An index CFD follows either the cash index the exchange computes or the futures contract tied to it. Which one, and whether it rolls over, is in the instrument details.
What moves the price
Earnings seasons, rate decisions, growth and jobs data, the market's general risk appetite. News from a few heavily weighted companies can move the index on its own.
Dividend adjustment
When a company in the index pays a dividend the index drops; open positions receive an adjustment that balances the drop. The details are in the account terms.
Hours
Each index follows the hours of its exchange; some indices can also be traded outside exchange hours. The hours are in the instrument details.
Cost and margin
The gap between the sell and buy price shows before the order; a position held overnight carries a financing charge. The margin required and the stop-loss level show before you confirm.
The dates that move this market.
The events on the economic calendar that touch this class's price the most.
Earnings season
The weeks when the index's big companies report; a few heavily weighted names can set the index's direction.
Rate decisions
Central bank decisions change borrowing costs and share valuations; the indices react at the same moment.
Growth and jobs data
Growth, jobs and purchasing managers' data show where the economy is heading, and so the appetite for the index.
