Nginx configuration location and index

This is how my configuration looks like...

server {
listen 80;
server_name 127.0.0.1 localhost;

location = / {
  index index.html;
}

location / {
  root /etc/nginx/html/app1;
  }
}

In my folder app1 I have two files, index.html & home.html

If I browse http://localhost/ or http://localhost/index.html or http://localhost/home.html page it comes up well.

When I change the configuration like so...

server {
listen 80;
server_name 127.0.0.1 localhost;

location = / {
  index home.html;
}

location / {
  root /etc/nginx/html/app1;
  }
}

http://localhost:8888/index.html > works http://localhost:8888/home.html > works http://localhost:8888/ > 403 forbidden!!!

Can someone please tell me what is wrong?

Because the priority of location = {} is higher location / {}.
So it first matches the location = {}.
In you case, there isn't root in the location = {}.
