Stock Market Today

May 22, 2017

The major U.S. equity indexes started the session to the upside—with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up nearly triple digits within the first 30 minutes—and has held most of those gains as we approach the midday hour on the East Coast. The latest stock market rally, which started last Thursday on the heels of a nearly 400-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrials on Trump Administration concerns, is continuing. Perhaps, the President’s trip to the Middle East and away from the politically charged environment in Washington D.C., is helping, at least for the moment, to ease some of the tensions between the political parties, which is welcomed by Wall Street. Hence, the rally we are seeing the last two-plus sessions. Read more

    May 19, 2017

    Harvey S. Katz, Robert Harrington, and Adam Rosner | 5/19/2017
    Stocksopened higher this morning, strengthened further in the early afternoon, but softened some by the end of the day. At the close of trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was ahead 141 points; the broader S&P 500 Index was up 16 points; and the NASDAQ was higher by 29 points. Today's rally partially extends yesterday’s advance, and may suggest some commitment on the part of traders. However, the modest selling late that took place late in the day should not go unnoticed. It must be noted that the market has started to become quite volatile, due, in part, to mounting political concerns. For now, Wall Street is weighing the situation in Washington against a quite vibrant economy and corporate sector.

At the close of trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was ahead 56 points; the broader S&P 500 Index was up nine points; and the NASDAQ was higher by 44 points. Market breadth was slightly favorable, as winners were modestly ahead of losers on the NYSE.
