ANALYZING THE PROFITABILITY OF DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN STOCK INDICES

Abstract

 trends in the development of the stock market in different countries depend on many factors, but at the same time it is a very indicative indicator of what is currently happening in the country's economy. Being a place of accumulation and redistribution of a huge amount of financial resources, the stock market reflects the expectations of issuers and investors at the current moment of time, formed on the basis of the ongoing economic events. That is why the stock market is the object of close attention and study on the part of investors and analysts, as its condition determines the directions of movement of financial resources not only between industries, but also between countries. Since the movement of the stock market is fixed through a certain index calculated on a particular stock exchange, it is the analysis of the yield of such an index that is always a relevant issue. The analysis of stock index returns allows to draw conclusions about the existing trends in the development of the economy, to form investment decisions and evaluate the effectiveness of the formed investment portfolio. As an important indicator of economic development, the stock index allows comparing investment opportunities in different countries.
