The traditional index fluctuates upward, and the trading heat of the Gate index area is steadily increasing

With the global market's risk appetite undergoing a phase of recovery, major stock indices continue to show a trend of oscillating upward, with small and mid-cap stocks and European blue-chip indices performing steadily. According to the Gate index section, the Russell 2000 Index in the U.S. reached a high of $2,669.03 in the last 24 hours and is currently reported at $2,646.42, up 1.01%, with increased activity; the FTSE 100 Index hit a high of $14,289.68 in the last 24 hours and is currently at $14,269.24, up 0.32%, continuing its high-level oscillation pattern.

Gate has launched the world's first perpetual contracts based on indices, using mainstream global indices and volatility indices as underlying assets, introducing market sentiment indicators into the crypto derivatives trading system. While maintaining the advantages of USDT settlement and 24/7 trading, it provides users with trading options that are more aligned with the global macro market. Additionally, Gate has comprehensively laid out traditional financial trading sections, covering various contract trading targets including stocks, precious metals, foreign exchange, indices, and commodities, such as gold, silver, Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, the Russell 2000 Index, and the FTSE 100 Index.

Currently, Gate's index perpetual contracts support trading in multiple currency pairs. As an important indicator of market uncertainty, the fluctuations of the VIX reflect changes in investors' expectations of risk and are often used for hedging and risk aversion. Its launch further provides investors with more specialized trading tools, expanding the space for cross-market trading and strategic layout.
