MARKET DRIVERS

What moves indices.

An equity index reflects the combined performance of a basket of companies, so it is sensitive to changes in earnings, interest rates and macro data.

FACTOR 01

Corporate earnings

During earnings season, results and guidance from heavyweight companies directly influence index direction.

FACTOR 02

Central banks and rates

Shifts in rate expectations change valuation levels; indices heavy in growth stocks are usually more sensitive.

FACTOR 03

Macro data

Indices may move quickly around releases of employment, inflation, PMI and similar data.

FACTOR 04

Sectors and weightings

Each index has a different sector mix — technology, financials, industrials or resources — each shaping its trend.
