NASDAQ 100

The NASDAQ-100 tracks the 100 largest non-financial companies on the NASDAQ exchange, focusing on tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. Launched in 1985, it includes sectors like technology, healthcare, and consumer services but excludes financial firms.

The index is market-cap weighted, meaning bigger companies influence its movement more. Known for its growth potential and volatility, the NASDAQ-100 is a key benchmark for tech and innovation-driven industries.
