I think it's relevant. It's a landmark in that it is at a 52-week low, and dropped significantly below the psychological 8,000 boundary. I personally find it interesting, and I think some, though perhaps not all, hackers would agree. Plus, I think a lot of people who don't track the market would occasionally want to know when something unusual (like a 5.5% drop) happens in the US economy. There are people who already knew, but that's true for most submissions.
