Meaning of Index in relation to stock exchange

[Shahid_fss]

<b>INDEX</b>

Index of any kind i.e poverty, education etc is an average mathod.

Indexes used in stock exchanges are usually used to compare the prices of stocks of different companies such as

Company A +10
Company B -20
Company C -
Company D -
Company E +2

Here index shows

3 Companies' stock price is increased, one's decreased and two's remained same.

<b>KSE INDEX</b>

There are different names given to indexes. A single stock exchange may have more then one indexes.

If we take the above example and assume that it is the only index of, say Rawlapindi Stock Exchange then we can name it

Rawalpindi Stock Exchange 5 Index - OR - RSE-5

Same is the case with KSE-100 which stands for Karachi Stock Exchange 100 Index (100 Companies). Islamabad Stock Exchange 10 Or ISE-10 is another example.

Hope it helps
