Indices in trading represent the price performance of a segment of stocks from a specific stock market or exchange. For instance, the FTSE 100 follows the top 100 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. Indices trading offers an opportunity to gain exposure to an industry, a sector, or an entire economy with a single transaction.
By trading indices through CFDs, you can take positions on indices prices going up or down, without the need to own the underlying asset.
Trading indices also provide a highly liquid trading market and their extended trading hours offer traders, including those in Thailand and Phillipines greater access to potential market opportunities.
