What Moves Index Prices?

Index CFDs are influenced by a combination of macroeconomic data, corporate earnings, central bank policy, and geopolitical events.

Economic Data

Employment reports, inflation data (CPI), GDP releases, and retail sales figures often drive significant moves across major indices — including key Asian economic releases.

Central Bank Policy

Interest rate decisions, quantitative easing announcements, and forward guidance from the Fed, ECB, BoJ, RBA and MAS have major impact on regional indices.

Corporate Earnings

Quarterly results from mega-cap companies (especially in the US and Asia) can swing broad market indices dramatically.

Global Index Trading Sessions

Major indices have overlapping sessions that create the highest liquidity and volatility periods.
