A Stock market index is a listing of stock and a statistic reflecting the composite value of its components. It is used as a tool to represent the characteristics of its component stocks. Many indices compiled by news or financial services firms are used to benchmark the performance of portfolios such as mutual funds.
Stock market indexes may be classed in many ways. A broad-base index represents the performance of a whole stock market — and by proxy, reflects investor sentiment on the state of the economy. The most regularly quoted market indexes are broad-base indexes comprised of the stocks of large companies listed on a nation's largest stock exchanges, such as the American Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index, the British FTSE 100, the French CAC 40, the German DAX, the Japanese Nikkei 225, the Indian Sensex and the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index.
