However, strong earnings reports today are helping keep the DJIA from falling alongside other indices. That includes Home Depot (HD) surprising investors with strong results in its latest earnings report. Other major earnings this week are also affecting the index.
The DJIA is up 0.24% as of Tuesday afternoon, building on its 2.16% increase year-to-date. Experts predict further gains in 2025 but don't expect the stock market to rally as much as it did in 2024.
Investors can't take a direct stake in the Dow Jones as it's only an index. Instead, they might consider buying shares listed on it. This opens up the possibility of purchasing shares rising today to take advantage of those rallies. Other traders might look to falling shares for attractive entry points in hopes of a rebound.
A third option for investors is purchasing shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the DJIA. Some ETFs bet on or against the index, offering different options. One popular choice among investors is the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA).
