What are the three major stock indexes in the US stock market?

There are three major stock indexes in American stock market: Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC), Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) and Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX).

1 Nasdaq index was founded in 197 1, and all stocks listed on Nasdaq stock market are weighted by market value. The stocks of Nasdaq index are mainly emerging industries, including computer hardware stocks, software stocks, semiconductor stocks, internet stocks, communication stocks, internet stocks, biotechnology stocks and other high-tech related stocks.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is the oldest stock price index in history, with a history of 100 years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average consists of only the top 30 stocks in the market. However, due to the small number of shares, its representativeness has been questioned in recent years compared with the US stock market with a total of more than 1 10,000 shares.

All companies covered by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index are listed companies traded on major American exchanges, such as new york Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. Compared with the Dow Jones index, the S&P 500 index contains more companies, so the risk is more dispersed, and it can reflect broader market changes.

The above is the introduction of the three major stock market indexes of the US stock market. I hope this answer is helpful to everyone.
