Time index

Stock exchange index calculated on the basis of prices determined at relatively long intervals.

A time index is usually calculated every trading day using cash settlement prices. Unlike an index which is calculated continuously on the basis of the most recent prices, a time index does not reflect the short-term price and market developments that occur in continuous trading.

Examples of time indices published by Deutsche Börse are certain bond indices.
