Dow + Jones
Both 'Dow' and 'Jones' are proper names/surnames with no lexical meaning indicating a stock-market index, so the sense 'a US stock-market index' cannot be composed from the parts. This is an eponymous, technical institutional name referring to a specific financial concept, which a B1 learner who only knows the constituent words would not be able to infer.
Etymology
Dow Jones is named after two newspaper reporters, Charles Dow and Edward Jones, who in the late 1800s made a simple average of a few big company stock prices to show how the market was doing. That's why today Dow Jones means the famous 'index' people watch to see how the market is doing.
