May 26, 2021 marks the 125-year anniversary of a financial and cultural icon: the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Created as a simple gauge of stock market performance, the index has weathered recessions, depressions, bubbles, and expansions, and has held up through two world wars, 23 U.S. presidencies, and two global pandemics. Through it all, The Dow has steadfastly tracked the ups and downs of the U.S. market, and by extension has served as a leading indicator of U.S. and global economic health. Published every day on TV, websites and blogs—and quoted far and wide from Wall Street to Main Street—The Dow is still the number that most investors cite when asked how the market is doing.
