How do FAANG stocks affect indices?
The FAANG stocks combined have a market capitalization of more than $5 trillion, with Apple having the highest, followed by Google and then Amazon.
These stocks make up around 15% of the S&P500 index and 30% of the NASDAQ index.
From the numbers above, you can see that these stocks are huge and take up a lot of space in indexes, so if the price of these stocks moves, it will cause the price of the index to move too.
