DJIA Futures

DJIA Futures DJIA, or Dow Jones Industrial Average, is the second oldest U.S. stock market index. The Dow shows how 30 U.S.-based companies have traded in a standard session. In order to calculate the average, the Dow is the sum of all its component prices divided by a figure that changes to remain consistent to the value of the index. Trading of DJIA futures usually takes place in an open outcry auction, but a significant amount of trading also takes place online over an electronic network.
