An index summarises hundreds of individual stock moves into one number. We track the five US benchmarks (S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq, Russell 2000, VIX) and five major global indices (FTSE, DAX, CAC, Nikkei, Hang Seng). The VIX in particular is worth a glance daily — it spikes before market stress shows up in price.
