Indicative DataMarket Drivers
What moves global indices
Corporate earnings
Quarterly results from index constituents drive overall index moves, especially mega-cap names with the largest weights.
Interest rate decisions
Central bank rate changes reprice equity valuations through discount-rate and growth-expectation channels.
Economic data
GDP, employment and PMI releases shape the macro picture and the trajectory of the underlying economy.
Geopolitical events
Trade tensions, elections and conflicts inject volatility and rotate flows between regional benchmarks.
Currency effects
For international traders, currency movements affect realised returns on foreign-denominated indices.
Sector rotation
Money moving between sectors — tech to defensives, growth to value — shifts relative index performance.
