- As of January 2014, WSE starts the publication of new indices derived from WIG30: WIG30short and WIG30lev
- WSE will provide historical data of the indices WIG30 and WIG30TR for the period from December 2007
Warsaw Stock Exchange begins to publish the indices WIG30short and WIG30lev as of 2 January 2014. This is yet another step in the development of further market indices used in investment instruments based on the new main index of the Warsaw Stock Exchange introduced in September 2013: WIG30.
As previously announced, WSE will also provide historical data of the indices WIG30 and WIG30TR for the period from 31 December 2007.
“When we decided to replace WIG20 with WIG30, we prepared a detailed timetable of changes which we are now consistently implementing. The start of publication of WIG30short and WIG30lev and the provision of historical data for WIG30 and WIG30TR are another step in a large project of restructuring the system of the main indices of the Warsaw Stock Exchange with WIG30 as the leading index,” said Adam Maciejewski, President of the Management Board of WSE.
WIG30short and WIG30lev are derived from WIG30. WIG30short tracks stock prices in reverse to WIG30. This means that WIG30short changes in reverse proportion to WIG30: for instance, if WIG30 loses 10 points, WIG30short gains 10 points; thus, the WIG30short can be used to evaluate short-selling investments. Historical data of WIG30short are now available for the period from 31 December 2007. The initial WIG30short value was 3,409.54 points and it stood at 4,650.28 points at the end of November 2013.
