Understanding US and Canadian stock market indices
A stock market index measures the combined value of a defined basket of stocks, giving you one number for how a whole market or segment is trading. This page tracks live, 15-minute delayed levels for the major US and Canadian stock market indices, including the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq-100, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Russell 1000, 2000 and 3000, and the S&P/TSX family. Each benchmark rises and falls as its underlying stocks trade through the session.
Every row shows the current level next to two measures of daily movement. The point change is the raw number of index points gained or lost versus the prior close, and the percent change expresses that same move as a percentage, which is the fairer way to compare indices that sit at very different levels. For a quick read on the stock market today, scan the percent change column for green and red.
