What is Nasdaq?

Nasdaq is a US stock exchange known for listing many technology and growth companies. The Nasdaq Composite covers all its listed stocks, and the Nasdaq-100 covers the 100 largest non-financial ones.

Why it matters

Because it is tech-heavy, the Nasdaq usually swings more than the S&P 500 or the Dow.
