A stock index is a statistical indicator measuring the combined value of underlying shares within a particular stock market. Global stock indices can move higher or lower depending on financial investor reaction to a range of factors, including company reporting updates or economic announcements, as well as a result of political decisions. A change in value any constituent stock of a given index is reflected by a change in the overall value of the stock index.

CFD trading on stock indices allows you to take a wider view of a collection of stocks, rather than taking a view on the prospects of an individual company's shares.
