Frequently Asked Questions
What are stock indices?
Stock indices are measurements of the price performance of a group of stocks from a particular exchange or region. For example, the Nikkei 225 represents 225 of the largest Japanese companies, while the S&P 500 includes 500 of the largest US companies.
What affects indices prices?
Indices prices are affected by economic data releases, central bank decisions, political events, company earnings reports, and market sentiment. For regional indices like the Nikkei 225 or Hang Seng, local economic factors have a stronger influence.
What is the minimum deposit to trade indices?
With Exness, you can start trading indices with as little as $10, making it accessible to all types of traders. However, due to margin requirements, we recommend starting with a slightly higher capital amount for indices trading.
