Dow futures
Pre-market index bets
Dow futures are contracts to buy or sell the Dow Jones Industrial Average at a predetermined price on a future date.
Traders use them to speculate on or hedge against market movements before regular trading hours.
Because futures markets open earlier than stock exchanges, Dow futures serve as an indicator of how the stock market will open: Dow futures are up this morning, suggesting a strong open.
