In finance, we often use statistical tools to gauge the current state of the stock market or economy. These tools take into account the performance of various components, such as stocks and bonds. Some examples of these tools include the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index, the S&P/TSX Composite Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Consumer Price Index. These measures provide valuable insights into the financial landscape and can help us make informed decisions about investments and economic trends.
