Version 1.0 (2024-05-18 01:52:19.378000)
updates: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 40,000 points for the first time in history, marking a significant milestone for the stock market and reflecting the resilience of the US economy. The achievement comes after a challenging period for stock market gains, including aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. However, concerns of a recession never materialized, and optimism around artificial intelligence (AI) helped underpin the stock market rally. The Dow's climb to the 40,000-point level took 874 trading days. The last time the Dow closed above a major milestone was on November 24, 2020, when it first pierced 30,000. The Dow first crossed the 10,000-point mark on March 29, 1999, and reached 20,000 on January 25, 2017, following the election of President Donald Trump. Tracing back to November 14, 1972, the Dow reached the 1,000-point level shortly after the election of President Richard Nixon.

updates: The Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed 40,000 points for the first time ever, reflecting renewed hope for the market's health. Out of the 30 blue chip stocks included in the Dow, Goldman Sachs added the most points to the index since it crossed 30k in November 2020, while 3M subtracted the most points. The Dow's rally reflects investor optimism about the US economy's post-pandemic resurgence, marked by more jobs, continued growth, and slightly cooling inflation. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also hit new highs after the latest inflation numbers came out. President Joe Biden acknowledged the Dow's gains and is trying to bridge the gap between the public's perception of the economy and its actual performance. Many Americans believe things are getting worse and think the US is in a recession, according to recent CNN polls.
