What is Dow Jones Index?

Created by Charles Dow in the late 19th century, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is one of the most traded indicators on the US stock market. Given the longevity of the Dow Jones, it can be said that it reflects not only the price of large industrial companies in the US market, but also the growth of the US economy during the last century.

It was initially composed of the values of 12 stocks. After that, the shares gradually increased in it. As a result, by the end of 1920, it had shares in a total of 30 companies. When it had 30 companies, it was known as Dow Jones 30, as we know it today. Of the 12 companies that were at the time of the index’s birth, none remain after the departure of General Electric in the summer of 2018.

Anyway, the truth is that the Dow zone index is a clear thermometer for the health of the US economy:

If the US economy grows, DJI goes up 30.

️If, conversely, the US economy is going through a crisis, the Dow Jones index falls.

Some of the major companies that make the DJI 30 are Coca-Cola, Walt Disney, General Electric, and McDonald’s.

Both the structure of the Industrial Dowjones index and the weighting of its capitalization can change.

The structure of the Dow Jones changed on August 31, 2020, as a result of a 4 to 1 split of Apple’s stock, a movement that significantly reduced the weight of the technology sector in the weighting of the index.

From that moment on, Salesforce.com, Amgen and HoneyWell were added to the index, replacing Exxon Mobil, Pfizer and Raytheon Technologies.

This is the third time in this century that the Dow Jones has swapped all three of its components at once. The first was in 2004, when Pfizer, Verizon and American International Group entered. The second was in 2013, which included Goldman Sachs, Visa and Nike in the index.
