Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJI

The Dow Jones Industrial Average tracks 30 large, well-established US companies and is one of the oldest and most quoted stock indices. Unlike most modern indices it is price-weighted, meaning higher-priced shares carry more influence regardless of company size. It is widely used in headlines as a snapshot of US market sentiment. Traders access it via ETFs, futures and CFDs. Its level responds to corporate earnings, interest rates and economic data, and can fall sharply in downturns — manage risk with care.
