Thirty large US companies, weighted by share price rather than size, so a handful of expensive stocks move it most.
Based on the cash Dow Jones index. Percentage moves line up closely with a CFD price; exact levels can differ a little.
| 20-day average | 51,855 |
| 50-day average | 52,711 |
| 200-day average | 50,275 |

US30 is 63% of the way from its 12-month low to its 12-month high. A typical day covers about 512 points, which is worth knowing before you set a stop: much tighter than that and normal daily noise can take you out.
