What is a Market Index?

What is a Market Index?

Imagine a school class with 500 students. A market index is like the average grade of the class. Instead of looking at each student, you look at one scorecard (like the S&P 500) to see if the group is doing well or failing.

It helps you see the overall health of the business world instantly.
