Global index

A global index is a measurement that tracks the overall performance of a group of stocks, bonds, or other financial assets across multiple countries. It acts like a report card for the global economy or specific markets, showing how these assets are doing on average. Investors use these indices to understand market trends, compare different regions, and make informed decisions. Examples include the MSCI World Index, which covers many developed countries, providing a broad snapshot of global market health and investment opportunities.
