Some speculate that because airlines hold less influence in the price-weighted Dow Transports index these days, the other firms’ stronger performances are offsetting the losses from the airline industry. However, some also agree that the index needs to be rebalanced to boost diversity and better reflect the economy.

Yes, consumers are wilting under inflationary pressures as we head into summer. And yes, the trucking companies are some of the hardest hit firms.

But against the odds, the Dow Transportation Index is one of the market’s best performers, with some of the companies within it still going strong. Choose wisely and you could grab profits from a sector that many investors wouldn’t even consider at the moment.
