Indices are the most popular form of CFDs. AlliancegCanada has a large range of Indices from around the world to choose from, including the Australian SP 200 Index, UK FTSE 100 Index, US E-mini SP 500 and US DJIA Index.
A stock index is a good indicative measure of market performance. Indices such as the FTSE 100 and DJIA Index are baskets of blue chip stocks listed on the exchange and are generally a good measure of the current market sentiment. A change in the performance of any constituent stock in an index is reflected in a change in the overall value of that index.
I'm a cool paragraph that lives inside of an even cooler modal. Wins!
