The Dow Jones Industrial Average has smashed through the 20-thousand point level FOR THE
FIRST TIME EVER.
The historic rally on Wall Street on Wednesday... was helped by strong earnings... and President
Trump's pro-growth initiatives.
The Dow jumped zero-point-eight percent to close at a record high of 20-thousand-68-point-5.
It once touched 20-thousand-80 mark during the session.
The Dow has now risen by more than 16-hundred points since Trump won the election.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq also also hit all-time highs.
The Dow was close to breaking the landmark barrier on January 6th, but had struggled
in recent weeks as investors grew cautious as they looked for clarity... on the new administration's
policies.
President Trump has signed several executive orders since his inauguration, including eased
regulations on domestic manufacturers and giving the green light for the construction
of two controversial oil pipelines.
