What are market indices?

Market indices (also known as market indexes) are used as benchmarks to monitor movement and performance of market segments. This will typically include shares, bonds, and other assets that represent a particular market or economic sector. This enables you to assess the overall condition of a share market, prevailing prices, and the performance of your investments.
