Starting from November 5, 2007. Marketiva provides Indexes and Commodities Trading. Before that, Marketiva already provides Forex and Funds Trading for their Clients. Marketiva provides Indexes such as Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P, DAX, and FTSE. And Commodities such as Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium.
In economics and finance, an index is a single number calculated from an array of prices or of quantities. Examples are a price index, a quantity index (such as real GDP), a market performance Index (such as a labour market index / job Index or a stock market index). Values of the index in successive periods (days, years, etc.) summarize level of the activity over time or across economic units (regions, countries, etc.).
A commodity is something for which there is demand, but which is supplied without qualitative differentiation across a given market. Characteristic of commodities is that their prices are determined as a function of their market as a whole. Well-established physical commodities have actively traded spot and derivative markets. Generally, these are basic resources and agricultural products such as iron ore, crude oil, coal, ethanol, sugar, soybeans, aluminium, rice, wheat, gold and silver.
