Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Market indexes, such as the S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite, provide a broad summary of overall price trends for the market as a whole. A bear market is typically characterized by a sustained period of declining prices across many different sectors, which would be reflected in these indexes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (A) tracks only 30 large-cap stocks, while blue-chip stocks (C) refer to large, well-established companies and do not necessarily reflect overall market trends. Technology-based economies (D) and exchange-traded funds (E) may provide insight into specific sectors or investment vehicles, but may not necessarily indicate a broader bear market.
