Dow Jumps above 19,000, Extending Post-Election Rally
The Dow jumped above 19,000 in opening trade Tuesday for the first time as U.S. stocks continued to rally after Republicans swept the November 8 presidential and congressional elections.
The Dow got as high as 19,007.81 shortly after the opening bell. All three major U.S. stock indices closed at records Monday in anticipation of pro-growth policies under President-elect Donald Trump and congressional Republicans.
Six minutes into trade, the Dow was at 18,992.23, up 0.2 percent.
