What Are The Dow Jones Futures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The DJIA is the second oldest U.S. stock index available today. It\u2019s viewed as one of the best metrics or proxies for the U.S. stock market and the overall economy. It is known as a \u201cblue chip\u201d index because of the types of included companies. Some of the companies include Coca-Cola, AT&T, ExxonMobil, Wal-Mar, Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft. These days, investors can gain exposure to the DJIA through various instruments, including Options<\/a>, CFDs<\/a>, ETFs<\/a>, and Futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A futures contract is a legally binding agreement between two parties to exchange money or assets at a future date based on the price of an underlying index. The Dow Jones futures<\/strong> contract, for example, tracks the spot price of the DJIA. The two parties in a futures contract are basically betting on where the DJIA will trade on a specified day in the future. This is known as the \u201cfinal settlement date.\u201d As such, if you are looking to speculate on the DJIA, then trading Dow Jones futures<\/strong> is a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n
