What is Nasdaq?

Basics

나스닥

An index of a US stock market with a high share of technology stocks. Many of its companies depend on expectations of future earnings, so it reacts sensitively to interest rate changes. Both rises and falls tend to be large, and because a few large companies carry heavy weight, there are periods when the whole index depends on the results of a few stocks.
