Market indicators signal the activity among stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and commodities such as oil and gold. The rise and fall of these investment values is a general indicator of the financial state of the investment market. Watching the performance of market indicators can give you a good idea of how the market is doing, which can help you time investments more productively. Generally, the state of the economy often signals what type of investments will be most profitable. Following market indicators is usually advisable for those with large investments. However, smaller investors may want to simply concentrate on their own investments, tracking their individual growth.
