What this measures
S&P Global Equity Indices measure the U.S. dollar price change in the stock markets covered by the S&P BMI country indices.
Limitations: Markets included in Standard & Poor's emerging markets category vary widely in level of development. Thus, it is best to look at the entire category to identify the most significant market trends. It is also useful to remember that stock market trends may be distorted by currency conversions, especially when a currency has registered a significant devaluation. Index methodology details are available on the S&P Global website: https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/sp-global-bmi/#overview
