There is no single overall stock market index, as there are a number of
exchanges and each has various indexes. There are: NASDAQ, New York
Stock Exchange, Nikkei (Tokyo), FTSE (London), Hang Seng Index (Hong
Kong), etc. And the indexes commonly used are: Dow Jones Industrial
Average, Standard and Poors 100/500, NASDAQ Composite, etc.
Some useful indexes can be found on Yahoo's stock page:
Code:
--------------------
^DJI Dow Jones Industrial
^IXIC NASDAQ Composite
^GSPC S&P 500
^OEX S&P 100
^TYX 30-yr Treasury Yield
^N225 Nikkei 225 (Tokyo)
^FTSE FTSE-100 (London)
^HSI Hang Seng Index (Hong Kong)
