As a tracker of multiple stocks, stock indexes have no built-in value. Instead, the index will move in points and reflect the share prices of all its underlying assets. Some stock indexes give equal weight to all the stocks in them, while others give a greater advantage to larger stocks.
To trade stock indices, traders must use tracking funds or derivatives such as CFDs, futures, or ETFs. All of these products offer a method of trading on stock index price movements without having to go through several stocks at once. Apart from Hong Kong indices, IG Japan clients can also trade many indices such as Wall Street, Hong Kong HS50, and Japan 225 24 hours a day so that traders can take advantage of after-hours market opportunities.
