Noun
Nasdaq is a proper noun referring to a specific global electronic marketplace. Because it is a unique entity, it is used as a singular proper noun and does not have a plural form in standard usage.
In financial discourse, the term is often used metonymically to refer to the Nasdaq Composite index. When a speaker says "the Nasdaq is up today," they are referring to the performance of the index rather than the exchange entity itself.
