== Description ==
This table shows basic information about the stock [[market index]] in the game. It shows the following information:

* Current market index (initial value is 100).
* Number of companies in index: this number is computed as <math display="inline">\lfloor 0.3 \times \text{number of companies at the start of the game} \rfloor</math>. Here, the initial number is based on the one chosen in the [[New Game Settings]], which may be different from the number of companies at the start of the game due to [[Merger|mergers]] or [[Bankruptcy|bankruptcies]] during the pre-simulation phase before a new game starts.
* One-year return (%): before one year has elapsed, it is set to NMF (no-meaningful figure). After that, it is computed as <math display="inline">100 \times \frac{\text{MarketIndex}(C) - \text{MarketIndex}(C-12) }{\text{MarketIndex}(C-12)}</math>, where C is the current turn number.
* Three-year return (%): before three years have elapsed, it is set to NMF (no-meaningful figure). After that, it is computed as <math display="inline">100 \times \frac{\text{MarketIndex}(C) - \text{MarketIndex}(C-36) }{\text{MarketIndex}(C-36)}</math>, where C is the current turn number.
* Five-year return (%): before five year have elapsed, it is set to NMF (no-meaningful figure). After that, it is computed as <math display="inline">100 \times \frac{\text{MarketIndex}(C) - \text{MarketIndex}(C-60) }{\text{MarketIndex}(C-60)}</math>, where C is the current turn number.

Additionally, clicking on the ''show graph'' button opens a window showing historical data for the index values in the last one, three, five, and ten years.

== Strategy tips ==
TODO: add description of how it is computed (either here or create a separate page of market index as a finance concept)

== Real-world parallel ==
Famous market indices include the [[wikipedia:S&P_500|S&P 500 Index]], the [[wikipedia:Nasdaq-100|Nasdaq-100 index]], the [[wikipedia:DAX|German DAX]], the [[wikipedia:Nikkei_225|Japanese Nikkei]], etc.
