What are indexes?
An index is a “composite” measure of the performance of a particular market or sector of the economy. The index value represents the total value of all stocks that are included in it and is calculated as a weighted average.
Indices allow you to make trades not just on the shares of an individual company, but to join the rise or fall of an entire industry (IT, engineering, etc.).
According to the calculation methodology, indices are divided into groups, the most common of which are as follows:
Arithmetic mean
The market prices of the stocks included in the index are added up and the resulting sum is divided by the number of included stocks. This is how the Dow Jones family indices are calculated;

As a rule, by capitalization. Thus, it is possible to take into account not only the price of shares, but also the share of securities of a given issuer in the market. The most famous example of such an index is Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P 500).
