What is the Dow Jones index?
The Dow Jones is a weighted index of the market price of the thirty largest publicly-traded companies on the New York Stock Exchange. All thirty companies listed are American blue-chip, with large market capitalisations and a stable earnings history. The thirty stocks in the Dow jones industrial average frequently dictate the movement of the entire stock market. Thus the US30 (or the Dow Jones, or simply the Dow) can be described as price-weighted indices, where changes in the price of any of the stocks can have a positive or negative impact on its value.
Movement of the Dow Jones index in the last years
A variety of stock-related factors can affect the value of the US30 index because it is a price-weighted index tracking the performance of some of the largest stocks in the US. Also, factors affecting overall economic activity can place additional pressure on the value. Traders should closely monitor for events which may affect stock prices along with the US economic data and the political situations.
The biggest cumulative loss suffered by the US30 was during the Great Depression in the US, when it lost nearly 90% of its value between 1929 and 1932. Another large point drop in history occurred on 16 March 2020, when concerns over the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic engulfed the market, dropping the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 2,997 points in the second and third quarters. Recovery from the pandemic was swift however, returning to pre-pandemic highs of approximately 29,580 points by November 2020, and increasing month-on-month steadily since. This can be attributed in part to the market dominance of the tech giants, stimulus from the federal reserve and Congress, and investor expectations of a strong recovery and re-emergence.
How to trade US30
US30 trading can be performed with different types of instruments or assets. Choose the method that suits you best; providing liquidity, low costs, swift execution, and focus on your strategy to trade US30.
You can use futures contracts to trade Dow Jones, locking down the price of the asset and you have a defined expiration date. But fixing your price for a predefined period means that you do not have a high degree of flexibility to capture a trading opportunity that may only arise at the expiration date. Trading index futures also means that you cannot liquidate a portion of your position as you need to wait for the expiration date, or you can close the overall position by entering into the opposite contract. Futures contracts can be a complicated trading instrument.
