The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), also known as the Dow Jones Index or Dow for short, is the leading international benchmark index representing the shares of the 30 largest listed US companies. The index, which was created in 1896 by Charles Dow and Edward Jones, is one of the oldest and best-known indices in the world.
Like almost all leading stock indices, the Dow reflects the economic performance of the largest publicly traded companies on the domestic stock market. The companies listed in the Dow Index are leaders in their respective industries and are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ. Unlike many other indices, the Dow Jones is a price-weighted index, which means that companies with a higher share price have a greater impact on the movements of the index. It serves as an indicator of the health and robustness of the US economy and the stock market.
Depending on how much imagination, passion and science you want to map into new information-driven concepts, data is not only the new gold standard, it can also reveal new perspectives.
