About Dow Jones Industrial Average

What it measures

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (FRED series DJIA) is a price-weighted index of thirty large, established US companies chosen by an editorial committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Dating to 1896, it is the oldest continuously quoted US stock market barometer. FRED publishes the daily closing value, with history limited by licensing terms.

Why it matters

Despite covering only thirty stocks, the Dow remains the index most quoted in general news coverage and a shorthand for the health of corporate America. Professionals watch it for headline sentiment effects and for its long price history, which allows comparisons across more than a century of market cycles that broader indexes cannot match.

How to read it

Point moves are less meaningful than percentage changes, since the index level is in the tens of thousands. Price weighting means a high-priced stock sways the average more than a larger company with a lower share price, so the Dow can diverge from cap-weighted benchmarks. Treat it as a narrow blue-chip gauge and confirm signals against the S&P 500 or Wilshire 5000.
