global indices

Global indices are benchmarks used to measure the performance of a group of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or other investments, across different countries or regions. They provide a snapshot of market trends and economic health, enabling investors to assess market movements and compare investment options. Examples include the S&P 500, which tracks 500 large U.S. companies, and the MSCI World Index, which covers stocks from various countries. By analyzing these indices, individuals and institutions can make informed decisions about their investments and understand broader economic conditions.
