#INDU (Dow Jones Industrial Average). বিনিময় হার এবং অনলাইন চার্ট।

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was created by Wall Street Journal editor and Dow Jones & Company co-founder Charles Dow. 

In 1884, Charles Dow compiled a list of nine railroad and two industrial stocks and divided their prices by 11 to produce a stock market average.

The 12-stock industrial average was introduced in 1896. The first day's stock average was 69.93 (total value of its constituent shares at that time was 769.23). In 1928, the index was expanded to include 30 stocks and has remained at 30 industrials since then.

While many of the stocks within the Dow no longer represent industrial companies, the name “Industrial Average” remains.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) updates the Dow Jones every half hour throughout a trading day.

According to analysts, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index can offer good trading opportunities. Its moderate volatility makes the CFD on this index a great instrument for long-term and patient investors.
