WSE reminds that since 4 May 2009 two new indices WIG20short and WIG20lev are published.
Both indices are based on the WIG20 index. The movements of WIG20short reflects the inverse of the WIG20 changes, e.g. a 10pts gain of the blue chip index translates into a 10pts loss of the WIG20short index. The second newly-introduced index, WIG20lev, changes in the same direction as WIG20, albeit with twice the magnitude, e.g. a 10pts rise in the blue chip index means a 20pts gain in WIG20lev.
The new indices are published according to the same timetable as the WIG20 index – every 15 seconds from open until close of continuous trading.
