No. ThinkMarkets synthetic indices are not linked to real-world economies or underlying financial markets.
Their price movements are generated algorithmically rather than being driven by external economic or market events.
This means events such as:
- central bank interest-rate decisions;
- inflation reports;
- employment data;
- company earnings; and
- geopolitical news
do not directly determine the price movements of synthetic indices.
Synthetic indices are designed to simulate market-like price behavior independently of real-world economic events.
Although they are not affected by economic news, synthetic indices can still experience significant and rapid price movements.
