Dow has registered 51 record closes in 2017—its most all-time high finishes in a single year since 2013.
A resurgence in the so-called Trump trade helped propel the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a fresh closing milestone.
This time the most well known and oldest U.S. equity benchmark closed above 23,000 for the first time ever, notching its fourth straight 1,000-point climb over the past 12 months. That marks the largest number of such 1,000 point moves within a calendar year in the benchmark’s 120+-year history, according to WSJ Market Data Group.
Since the 2016 election, won in shocking fashion by Trump over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, the Dow has climbed 26%, the S&P 500 index has advanced almost 20%, the Nasdaq Composite Index has returned about 28%, and a popular index of small companies, the Russell 2000 index has climbed more than 26%.
