Many news reporting websites such as CNN and MSNBC news will have a section of finance and that is where a person can find the Stock Market index. The stock market index just displays how much that specific stock market has gained or loss at a given time.

Why are stock market indexes needed?

They are convenient in that they sum up the total market movement of perhaps hundreds of stocks in a single number. The value of the index is a representative figure of the overall performance of the stock exchange. A Stock exchange usually contains hundreds of thousands of stocks listed in it. It then chooses a few of the top/best companies out of them and forms an index based on their relative sizes and market capitalization and allots them weightages. The price movement of these stocks can have a direct impact on the market index. Whereas the movement in price of a company that is not a part of the index will not impact the same. Ex: Reliance Industries is one of the companies that has a significant weightage in both the NSE and BSE in India whereas Kashyap Technologies does not feature in the index companies. Though it is a member of the BSE it does not feature in the index. So, if the price of Reliance Industries goes up the market would go up but if the price of Kashyap goes up or down the index would remain unaffected.
