Dow trades above 24,000 as stocks open at records
The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded above 24,000 for the first time, while the S&P 500 set a fresh all-time high. All three main indexes were on track to end November with solid gains. On a total return basis, this is the 13th straight month of gains. The S&P 500 opened 9 points, or 0.3%, higher at 2,635. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 107 points, or 0.5%, to 24,0049. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index advanced 27 points, or 0.4%, to 6,851, recouping some of the sharp losses from the previous session. Among the best performers on Wall Street, Kroger Co. jumped 11% after better-than-expected earnings.
