Market Index
The FMP Market Index endpoint provides a list of all the major stock market indices, such as the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Nasdaq Composite Index. Each index tracks a different segment of the stock market, such as large-cap US stocks, the top 30 US industrial companies, and technology stocks. Investors can track the performance of the overall stock market by monitoring the performance of the major market indices.
For example, if the S&P 500 is up 10% year-to-date, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average is only up 5%, this may indicate that technology stocks are outperforming industrial stocks. Investors can use this information to identify potential investment opportunities in the technology sector.
