Another Day, Another Dow Record

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose for the 10th consecutive day Thursday, its longest winning streak since November 1996. The index rose 83.86 points, or 0.58%, to close at 14,539.14 — the eighth day in a row the Dow has set a record. That’s also the longest such streak since November ’96.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 0.56% to close at 1,563.23, tantalizingly close to its record close of 1,565.15, set on Oct. 9, 2007. Today’s close is the second highest in the S&P 500′s history.

The Russell 2000 index� rose 0.97% to close at 953.07, a record. The small-cap index is up 12 of the past 13 trading days, and has risen 12.2% this year.
