Background And Index Context
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is described by Markets Insider as the most well known share index in the USA.
Markets Insider notes Charles Henry Dow developed the index and that it originally contained just 12 American companies.
The listing records that the Dow was first published in May 1896 and opened at a level of 40.94 points, according to Markets Insider.
Today the Dow Jones Industrial Average comprises 30 market leading companies on the American stock exchange and aims to reflect their growth, as the Markets Insider overview explains.
