Nasdaq 100 futures track the Nasdaq 100 Index, a modified market-capitalization-weighted index of the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, with a heavy concentration in technology, communication services, and consumer discretionary sectors. Price drivers include earnings from major technology companies, interest rate expectations (given the index's sensitivity to rate changes through growth stock valuations), macroeconomic data, and global risk sentiment. The index's composition means it tends to be more volatile than broader market benchmarks in response to shifts in rate expectations or technology sector news. Prices are quoted in index points.
