Dow thyen 30,000 pikë për herë të parë të martën ndërsa investitorët vunë bast për një rimëkëmbje të shpejtë ekonomike vitin e ardhshëm pas përparimit në vaksinat e koronavirusit dhe aksionit zyrtar për kalimin e Presidentit të zgjedhur Joe Biden në Shtëpinë e Bardhë.
Economically-sensitive industrial stocks surged to a record high, while the financials and energy indexes jumped 3.3% and 4.8%, respectively.
Electric-car maker Tesla Inc rose 4%, crossing $500 billion in market capitalization as investors lapped up its shares in the run-up to its addition to the S&P 500 index.
“Investors are getting optimistic about the coming six months,” said Mike Zigmont, head of trading and research at Harvest Volatility Management in New York.
“There has been a lot of positive vaccine news recently and with the announcement that the transition of the Biden administration is kicking off, it just makes a lot of uncertainties of the future disappear.”
Recent data suggesting a COVID-19 vaccine could be available before the end of the year has put the S&P 500 on course for its best November ever and sparked demand for value-linked stocks that were hammered following the coronavirus-driven crash earlier this year.
