Dow Jones Industrial Average

One of the most quoted U.S. indexes and also the oldest; this is a basket of 30 blue-chip stocks of the New York Stock Exchange's largest and best known industrial stocks. The DJIA is price-weighted, meaning that higher-priced stocks affect index performance more than lower-priced ones. It has been a widely followed indicator of the stock market since October 1, 1928.
