Why Is the Dow Jones Important in the World of Stocks?

Many investors have heard the term Dow Jones Index when searching for US stocks. However, in 1884, Charles Henry Dow, the founder of the Dow Jones Company, created the Dow Jones Index for the first time. Therefore, the Dow Jones Index is the oldest stock index globally.

The Dow Jones Index has a total of four groups of indices. These four groups of indexes are compiled according to different rules. The Dow Jones Index in the United States usually refers to the more representative Dow Jones Industrial Average. The index comprises 30 of the leading US stocks.

  1. The leading companies selected by the Dow Jones Index are all critical in the United States and globally. The list of companies included in the Dow Jones Index is not static and is updated periodically where some companies are dropped, and others added. However, the index always has 30 companies that represent the US economy.
  2. The relevant information of the Dow Jones index is published by the “Wall Street Journal”, which plays a vital role in the global financial industry.
  3. The Dow Jones Index has a long history, and it has never stopped since it was first created, so its reference range is quite extensive, and the value and significance of research on the index is also higher than that of other indices.
