What is Dow Jones
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tracks 30 large, well-established US companies. It is one of the oldest and most quoted stock-market indices in the world.
Unusually, it is price-weighted, so higher-priced shares carry more influence than larger companies, a quirk that sets it apart from most modern indices.
Despite holding only 30 names, the Dow is still treated as a household measure of how American big business is doing.
