DOW JONES (US30)
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), also known as the Dow 30 or simply the Dow, is a stock market index that tracks the performance of 30 large publicly traded companies listed on the stock exchanges in the United States. The index is one of the oldest and most widely followed stock market indices in the world, and it is often used as a benchmark for the performance of the overall US stock market.
The Dow is a price-weighted index, which means that the weight of each company in the index is proportional to its stock price. The index is calculated by adding up the stock prices of the 30 companies and dividing the total by a divisor, which is adjusted to account for corporate actions such as stock splits and dividends.
The Dow is a popular choice for investors looking to gain exposure to a diverse range of large, well-established companies in the US stock market. The index is highly diversified, covering a range of sectors including healthcare, technology, consumer goods, and financial services.
