The US Wall Street 30, or US30, is our market based on the price of 30 high-performing companies listed on US stock exchanges. It enables you to trade on the price of the US Wall Street 30 stock index using CFDs.
The US Wall Street 30, or US30, is a stock market index that measures the performance of 30 large publicly-listed companies on the United States stock exchanges.
Despite being the second-oldest stock market index in the US, the US Wall Street 30 is still considered to be one of the leading benchmarks of the country’s stock market. However, societal changes in recent years, coupled with criticisms of the methodology used to determine the index’s components, have led to suggestions that the US Wall Street 30 is no longer an accurate gauge of the market compared with other indices such as the US 500 or US Tech 100.
To practise trading the US Wall Street 30 and a range of other markets risk-free, you can open a demo account with us.
There are no specific criteria a company must meet to be eligible for inclusion in the US Wall Street 30, only that the company must be a large-cap, well-respected enterprise that demonstrates sustained growth and is of interest to a large number of investors. Companies are hand-picked by a committee of representatives from S&P Dow Jones Indices and The Wall Street Journal.
The US Wall Street 30 is price-weighted, meaning the stocks with the highest share price have a greater influence on the index price than lower-priced stocks. This is in opposition to the majority of other market indices which favour market capitalisation or industry size to weigh their constituents. As of April 2024, five of the largest companies in the US Wall Street 30 are Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), JP Morgan Chase (JPM) and Visa (V).
