Understanding market indices

  • Market indices play a crucial role not only for day traders but also for long-term investors. They provide
    important clues and provide detailed information about the general development of the market and the prevailing
    sentiment in various economic sectors. An index is a composite metric that represents a carefully selected group of
    stocks. This selection is usually representative of specific sectors or even the overall market.
    A market index therefore provides a comprehensive picture of the performance of the market or a specific market
    segment. It can reflect the average price of the stocks it contains or their total market capitalization. A good understanding of
    market indices and their composition is possible

  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is more than just a number in financial news; it is a historical barometer
    of the American economy. Since its founding in 1896, the DJIA has become one of the leading indicators of
    the health of the U.S. economy and global financial markets. Comprised of 30 leading American companies, the
    DJIA reflects market sentiment and economic dynamics across a wide range of industries, from finance to technology
    to consumer goods.
    The selection of companies represented in the DJIA follows strict criteria, with only companies with a solid reputation,
    sustainable profitability and significant market capitalization should be taken into consideration. This process ensures that the index
    reflects an accurate picture of the economic strength and innovation potential of the U.S. economy.
