Dow Jones Industrial Average tests new all-time high but struggling with 40,000

  • Dow Jones briefly tipped into a new record high, but cautious tones remain.
  • Fedspeak dominates headlines on quiet Monday, risk appetite hesitates.
  • Rate markets still bet on September rate cut, but odds are easing.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tested into a new all-time record high on Monday, but price action is getting pushed into the middle near the 40,000.00 handle. Federal Reserve (Fed) officials are appearing in force to kick off the new week, with a slew of policymakers giving cautious comments on Monday. Further comments from Fed officials are expected on Tuesday.

Key inflation data eased slightly below expectations last week, pinning broad-market hopes for Fed rate cuts higher. Despite a better-than-expected inflation print last week, price growth remains well above the Fed’s 2% annualized target. Key Fed members remain concerned that progress on inflation may be stalling out.

The CME’s FedWatch Tool shows rate markets are still pricing in at least 25 basis points in rate cuts from the September Fed rate meeting, but odds are slipping back. At current cut, rate traders are pricing in around 63% odds of a quarter-point cut in September.

Dow Jones FAQs

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, one of the oldest stock market indices in the world, is compiled of the 30 most traded stocks in the US. The index is price-weighted rather than weighted by capitalization. It is calculated by summing the prices of the constituent stocks and dividing them by a factor, currently 0.152. The index was founded by Charles Dow, who also founded the Wall Street Journal. In later years it has been criticized for not being broadly representative enough because it only tracks 30 conglomerates, unlike broader indices such as the S&P 500.

Many different factors drive the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). The aggregate performance of the component companies revealed in quarterly company earnings reports is the main one. US and global macroeconomic data also contributes as it impacts on investor sentiment. The level of interest rates, set by the Federal Reserve (Fed), also influences the DJIA as it affects the cost of credit, on which many corporations are heavily reliant. Therefore, inflation can be a major driver as well as other metrics which impact the Fed decisions.

Dow Theory is a method for identifying the primary trend of the stock market developed by Charles Dow. A key step is to compare the direction of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Dow Jones Transportation Average (DJTA) and only follow trends where both are moving in the same direction. Volume is a confirmatory criteria. The theory uses elements of peak and trough analysis. Dow’s theory posits three trend phases: accumulation, when smart money starts buying or selling; public participation, when the wider public joins in; and distribution, when the smart money exits.

There are a number of ways to trade the DJIA. One is to use ETFs which allow investors to trade the DJIA as a single security, rather than having to buy shares in all 30 constituent companies. A leading example is the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA). DJIA futures contracts enable traders to speculate on the future value of the index and Options provide the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the index at a predetermined price in the future. Mutual funds enable investors to buy a share of a diversified portfolio of DJIA stocks thus providing exposure to the overall index.
