Dow DJI.INDX

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has experienced significant volatility, closing recently at 48,804.06, down 1.66%. The index briefly rose earlier but struggled due to geopolitical tensions, particularly involving the U.S. and Iran, and rising oil prices. Despite moments of optimism, including a recent rally of 900 points, concerns over military actions and economic uncertainties have contributed to a cautious investor sentiment. Previous surges earlier in the year and a record high amid fears of a government shutdown reflect the ongoing uncertainty and market fluctuations driven by geopolitical factors.
