01 · Benchmark composition
Know what sits inside the number
An index is a basket, not a single company. Its constituents and concentration can shape how it responds to market news.
Global benchmarks
One benchmark. The wider market.
Global index CFDs help frame a wider equity-market question before you narrow into a region, sector or individual company.
Use benchmark direction as context, then review each instrument’s hours, pricing and underlying market structure before taking action.

Market framework
A clearer way to read the market context.
This is an educational framework, not investment advice. Use it to organize the question before considering an instrument, its terms and your own risk limits.
02 · Economic calendar
Connect data to the market window
Policy decisions, growth data and earnings periods can all be relevant, but their effect is different across regional benchmarks.
03 · Regional clocks
Respect the home-market session
A global view is useful only when paired with the local market hours and conditions of the index you are reviewing.

Common questions
Indices — asked and answered.
What is an index CFD?+
An index CFD tracks a basket of shares — the US 500 follows 500 large US companies — so one position gives broad market exposure without picking a single stock.
Which indices can I trade on IUX?+
Major global benchmarks including the US 500, US Tech 100, Wall Street 30, Germany 30, UK 100, Australia 200 and Hong Kong 50.
When do index markets trade?+
Each index follows its home market session — US indices are most active during New York hours, the Germany 30 during European hours, the Australia 200 during Asian-Pacific hours. Check instrument-specific hours before trading.
Why trade an index instead of a stock?+
An index answers a broader question — "where is the market going?" rather than "where is this company going?" It reduces single-company event risk while keeping full market exposure, long or short.
