About-Dow Jones (djia)Industrial Average

U.S. shares higher at close of trade; Dow Jones Industrial Average up 1.86%

The DJIA is one of the oldest and most commonly followed equity indices. Many professionals consider it to be an inadequate representation of the overall U.S. stock market compared to a broader market index such as the S&P 500.

The DJIA includes only 30 large companies. It is price-weighted, unlike stock indices which use market capitalization. Furthermore, the DJIA does not use weighted arithmetic mean.

The value of the index can also be calculated as the sum of the stock prices of the companies included in the index, divided by a factor that is currently (as of November 2021) approximately 0.152. The factor is changed whenever a constituent company undergoes a stock split so that the value of the index is unaffected by the stock split.

First calculated on May 26, 1896, the index is the second-oldest among U.S. market indices, after the Dow Jones Transportation Average. It was created by Charles Dow, the editor of The Wall Street Journal and the co-founder of Dow Jones & Company, and named after him and his business associate, statistician Edward Jones.

The word industrial in the name of the index initially emphasized the heavy industry sector, but over time stocks from many other types of companies have been added to the DJIA.

The index is maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices, an entity majority-owned by S&P Global. Its components are selected by a committee.

The ten components with the largest dividend yields are commonly referred to as the Dogs of the Dow. As with all stock prices, the prices of the constituent stocks and consequently the value of the index itself are affected by the performance of the respective companies as well as macroeconomic factors.

Current Analysis – Dow Jones Industrial Average(djia etf)

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 204 points or about 0.7%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively.

The averages were higher in early trading, with the Dow gaining more than 600 points, but came off their highs as U.S. Treasury yields moved up.

Strong earnings results on Tuesday helped extend a rally that began on Monday. Goldman Sachs rose 3% after strong trading results helped the investment bank beat expectations for earnings and revenue.

That report continued a strong stretch of bank earnings, including beats from Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon on Monday. Lockheed Martin also rose more than 5% after its earnings per share topped estimates.

Elsewhere, Salesforce rose almost 4% after activist Starboard Value LP revealed a stake in the software giant, boosting the Dow. Shares of Colgate-Palmolive gained nearly 2% after Dan Loeb’s Third Point built a stake in the company, CNBC’s David Faber reported.

Wall Street is coming off a strong start to the week, as the Nasdaq surged 3.43% on Monday for its best day since July 27.

Fears of a recession and overly aggressive central banks have helped push the U.S. markets to their lows of the year in recent weeks, but the solid start to earnings season may signal that the economy is currently in better shape than feared.

“3Q and 4Q earnings should confirm fundamentals remain anchored in resilient labor market and Covid reopening. Equity valuation will likely remain tied to global central bank rhetoric and rates, which is turning incrementally less negative.

As such, we see equities primed for upside into year-end on resilient 2022 earnings, low equity positioning, very negative sentiment and given more reasonable valuation,” Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, JPMorgan’s head of global macro research, said in a note to clients.
