Indices (also known as stock indexes) represent the value of a group of assets or stocks listed on a particular exchange. Major financial indices include the Dow Jones Industrial Average, US NAS 100 (Nasdaq) and US SPX 500 (S&P500). Different indices (or indexes) have their own criteria for determining constituent stocks.
The Dow Jones Index represents 30 large public-listed companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange weighted by price
US NAS 100 comprises 102 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ exchange
US SPX 500 tracks the stock performance of 500 of the largest companies listed on stock exchanges in the US
When the price of stocks listed on an index rise, the price of the index goes up
When the price of stocks listed on an index go down, the value of the index falls along with it
It’s not possible to directly buy or sell an index. At OANDA, you can trade Indices as a CFD. Our indices are derived from the price of the underlying instrument. Take a position on global indices, including the US NAS 100 index, the US SPX 500 index and Germany 30 index, with competitive spreads.
Our pricing engine aggregates live prices, in real time, from our liquidity providers and calculates a mid-point. A custom-built pricing algorithm automatically calculates the spread symmetrically around the mid-point for each tradable instrument. This mid-point fluctuates throughout the day as market prices change.
Our award-winning* and customizable OANDA Trade platform is engineered for reliability and speed. This is especially important during periods of high volatility, when prices can move rapidly. Our platform can be accessed from your web-browser.
Fairness and transparency are at the heart of everything we do. We are upfront about our charges and fees, so you always know exactly how much you are paying when you trade with us. That includes costs for depositing or withdrawing funds, transfers, spreads, currency conversion fees, inactivity fees and more.
