First, the Composite also includes banks and insurers, which the Nasdaq 100 excludes by design. Second, it does not stop at the 100 largest names. Alongside the technology giants sit several thousand smaller companies, many of them thinly traded. Because weights follow market value, those small names together account for a fraction of the index. The daily move is decided by the same large technology stocks as in the Nasdaq 100. That is why both indices usually track each other closely without being identical."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"So when a market report mentions “the Nasdaq”, it may mean either index, depending on the source.
