“Stocks Climb as Optimism Builds. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged above 25000 on optimism that economic activity is gathering steam and authorities may offer more stimulus to bolster the recovery. Major indexes were again powered by economically sensitive shares in the financials and industrials sectors.

U.S. stocks surged Wednesday, climbing to levels not seen since early March, on optimism that economic activity is gathering steam and authorities may offer more stimulus to bolster the recovery.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 553.16 points, or 2.2%, to 25548.27—marking the first time since early March that the blue-chip index has closed above the 25000 mark. The index was powered by gains in American Express, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, all of which climbed more than 5%.”

Stock market news for May 26, 2020

Stock market news May 26, 2020

“Dow closes up 500 points, tests 25,000 level, on recovery hopes and vaccine news.

U.S. stocks finished higher Tuesday, but off key levels following a long holiday weekend, as investors were emboldened by fresh coronavirus vaccine news and signs that global economies are crawling back from the pandemic shutdown.

How did benchmarks perform?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +2.16% climbed 529.95 points, or 2.2%, to end at 24,995.11, after trading above 25,000 earlier in the session.

The S&P 500 index SPX, +1.22% rose 36.32 points, or 1.2%, to close at 2,991.77, shy of its 200-day moving average of 2,999.81, according to FactSet data. The 200-day moving average is viewed by market technicians as a dividing line between long-term bullish and bearish trends. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.16% gained 15.63 points, or 0.2%, finishing at 9,340.22.

The Dow finished the session 15.4% off its all-time closing high in February, the S&P 500 index off by 11.7% and the Nasdaq less than 5% from its record close.

What drove the market?
Investors were focusing on positive signs in the global economy, news of the gradual removal of economic restrictions related to COVID-19 and signs that Americans are beginning to feel safe enough to travel and congregate in larger groups.

“It’s all about optimism for the economy reopening,” said Megan Horneman, portfolio strategist at Verdence Capital Advisors. “That’s the big driver for the market today.”
