What do the letters DJIA mean?

DJIA stands for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a Stock Market index that measures the performance of 30 large, publicly traded companies in the United States. It is one of the oldest and most widely recognized indices, serving as a key indicator of the overall health of the U.S. stock market and economy. The DJIA is price-weighted, meaning that companies with higher stock prices have a greater impact on the index's value.
