The DJIA Dow Jones index of the New York Stock Exchange is the oldest market index created to track the development of the American industry. Initially, the index was calculated using the formula of the arithmetic average of the value of stocks of industrial companies that are components of the DJIA. However, the definition of "industrial" at the present time is only a tribute to history. Today, the list of this trading instrument includes 30 prominent American companies, of which only a few are industrial conglomerates, the rest of the enterprises belong to such areas of the economy as engineering, oil and gas, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, software and computer technology development, as well as telecommunications and electronics. When calculating the Dow Jones index, the value of its component stocks is added up and then divided by the "Dow Divisor". This method of calculation is a significant drawback, since if one of the companies included in the DJIA has a lower level of capitalization compared to others and a higher stock price, then it acquires more weight in calculation of the index. Therefore, this trading instrument does not reflect the overall activity of the US stock market and is often used in conjunction with the S&P 500 index to assess its objectivity.

Interesting facts about the YM (DJIA index of the American stock exchange)

The American Stock Exchange Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (#DJI) is the second oldest index in the USA. The first one was called the DJTA, which stands for the Dow Jones Transportation Average. The DJIA is believed to be one of the most-watched stock market indices in the world, along with the S&P 500 and ASX 200. Only companies with stable earnings can be included in the DJIA.

The roots go back to 1896, when only twelve companies were included. They specialized in gas, oil, sugar, tobacco, and railroads. In 1916, there were twenty DJIA’s components, and in 1928 this amount rose to 30, which are presented today. Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble Company, and some other companies replaced the old ones in the list in 1932. The Great Depression of the 1930s and the modern crisis, the Great Recession, which happened in 2007-2008, left a trace in the list of the DJIA - some companies were ruled out.

The DJIA experienced lots of unexpected turns. For example, in 1930, the index lost a third of its value, in 1931 - half from the remaining price because of the Great Depression. However, 1933 brought some light and made the index 64% more expensive. The financial crisis of 2008 left a mark on the Dow Jones index as well.

3M, American Express, IBM, and Merck & Co. have been on the list longer than other companies. The most recent ones are Apple (2015), Amgen (was added in 2020), and Honeywell (2020).

Over the last one-, three-, five-, and 10-year periods, the DJIA has been outperformed by the S&P 500.

The DJIA is criticized by many experts as it has only 30 companies in it, which is too small and doesn’t represent companies of different sizes that may have had even more influence on the modern world.

The most active period for DJIA trading is between 17:30 and 00:00 (GMT+3, indicated in LiteFinance trading platform).
