Stock indices, often referred to simply as "indices," are indicators that track and measure the performance of a specific group of stocks in a stock market. They provide a snapshot of how a particular market or sector is performing by aggregating the prices of selected stocks within that market or sector. Stock indices are widely used by investors, analysts, and the media to gauge the overall health and trends of the stock market. The most well-known indexes include the Dow Jones Average, Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500, CAC 40, FTSE 100, DAX or SSE Composite Index.
