Update

Unfortunately, the API this dataset used to pull the stock data isn't free anymore. Instead of having this auto-updating, I dropped the last version of the data files in here, so at least the historic data is still usable.

Content

This dataset provides free end of day data for all stocks currently in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. For each of the 30 components of the index, there is one CSV file named by the stock's symbol (e.g. AAPL for Apple). Each file provides historically adjusted market-wide data (daily, max. 5 years back). See here for description of the columns: https://iextrading.com/developer/docs/#chart

Since this dataset uses remote URLs as files, it is automatically updated daily by the Kaggle platform and automatically represents the latest data.

The Dow Jones Composite Index finished the year 2024 at 13,391.71 points, an increase compared to the previous year. Even with the economic effects of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 2021 had the highest point of the index in the past two decades. What is Dow Jones Composite Index? The Dow Jones Composite Index is one of the indices from the Dow Jones index family. It is composed of 65 leading U.S. companies: 30 stocks forming the Dow Jones Industrial Average index, 20 stocks from the Dow Jones Transportation index and 15 stocks from the Dow Jones Utility Average index. Importance of stock indices A stock market index shows an average performance of companies from a given section of the market. It is usually a weighted average, meaning that such factors as price of companies or their market capitalization are taken into consideration when calculating the index value. Stock indices are very useful for the financial market participants, as they instantly show the sentiments prevailing on a given market. They are also commonly used as a benchmark against portfolio performance, showing if a given portfolio has outperformed, or underperformed the market.

Context

Dow Jones 30 is a price-weighted measurement stock market index of 30 prominent companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States. It is one of the most concise Indices as compared to other comprehensive ones such as NASDAQ or S&P 500.

The value index can be sum of the stock prices of the companies included in the index, divided by a factor which is currently approximately 0.152. The factor is changed whenever a constituent company undergoes a stock split so that the value of the index is unaffected by the stock split.

Content

In the dataset, You'll find stock prices of 16 major companies which are listed in DOW JONES 30 Index before Apr 1, 1999 (Obviously there are 14 others which they've replaced others over time and were added in the index after the said date)

Date: Simply the data in m/d/yyyy format (which works in the US)

MMM to Walt Disney: Average stock price of the day of the corresponding companies

DJIA: "Dow Jones Industrial Average" which can be said the target column of the dataset. It is the pool in which all the 30 stocks have their influence. Target can be seen as how much impact each and every stock lays on the pool.

Coronavirus concerns escalate The World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak as a global pandemic in March 2020, setting the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and other market indexes up for significant losses. With the stock markets destabilized, traders opted to sell their shares and were prepared to wait before investing in stocks again. Investors would have felt more confident if there were signs that the virus was being contained, but the number of cases continued to rise.

The S&P 500, an index of 500 publicly traded companies in the United States, closed at ******** points on the last trading day of December 2024. What is the S&P 500? The S&P 500 is a stock market index that tracks the evolution of 500 companies.

A large share of adults in the United States invest in the stock market, though many of these are through a retirement account or mutual fund. While most people make a modest return, the most successful investors have made billions of U.S. dollars through investing.

The expense ratio of passive mutual funds is expected to fall more quickly than for active funds between 2010 and 2015. While the former is predicted to fall by around ********** between 2010 and 2025, the latter is only expected to fall by *********. Active mutual funds are funds of pooled money that is invested by a fund manager, who actively researches new investment opportunities and amends the fund's portfolio accordingly. This contrasts to passive funds, where the fund's portfolio is (usually) determined by an external stock market index such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the FTSE 100. The less hand-on nature of passive funds means they are cheaper to operate, hence the consistently lower expense ratio.

The number of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) worldwide grew markedly during the period from 2003 to 2023. There were ****** ETFs globally in 2023, compared to *** in 2003. As of 2022, ETFs worldwide managed assets up to over ** trillion U.S. dollars. What are ETFs? Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been available on the financial markets since the early 1990s. They are one of the main types of investment funds, alongside mutual funds, insurance funds, pension funds, real estate funds, hedge funds or private equity funds. The main feature which distinguishes exchange-traded funds from other investment funds is that they are always traded on a stock exchange (like common stock) and their price is determined through purchase and sale transactions. Tracking stock indices The main purpose of ETFs is to replicate the performance of an index or a given financial instrument, rather than outperform it. For instance, an investor wishing to achieve the same performance as the Dow Jones Industrial Average index could invest in the DJIA ETF. Some of the ETFs also allow tracking the opposite of index performance – if an investor thinks that the price of silver will drop, he can purchase the shares of a reverse silver ETF in order to earn money on falling silver prices.

The average market risk premium in the United States decreased slightly to *** percent in 2023. This suggests that investors demand a slightly lower return for investments in that country, in exchange for the risk they are exposed to. This premium has hovered between *** and *** percent since 2011. What causes country-specific risk? Risk to investments come from two main sources. First, inflation causes an asset’s price to decrease in real terms. A 100 U.S. dollar investment with three percent inflation is only worth ** U.S. dollars after one year. Investors are also interested in risks of project failure or non-performing loans. The unique U.S. context Analysts have historically considered the United States Treasury to be risk-free. This view has been shifting, but many advisors continue to use treasury yield rates as a risk-free rate. Given the fact that U.S. government securities are available at a variety of terms, this gives investment managers a range of tools for predicting future market developments.
