Nasdaq Composite

The Nasdaq Composite is a stock market index that tracks the performance of over 3,000 companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange. It includes a wide range of companies, particularly technology firms, making it a good indicator of the tech sector’s health and overall stock market trends. When the Nasdaq Composite rises, it suggests that the stocks of these companies are generally doing well; when it falls, it indicates the opposite. Investors and analysts use it to gauge market momentum, assess economic outlooks, and compare individual stock performance against a broad market benchmark.
