List of largest daily changes in the Dow Jones Industrial Average

This is a list of the largest daily changes in the Dow Jones Industrial Average from 1896.

[3][4] The Dow Jones Industrial Average was first published in 1896, but since the firms listed at that time were in existence before then, the index can be calculated going back to May 2, 1881.

During the 2020 stock market crash, fourteen of the top seventeen positions occurred in the month of March 2020.
