The Closing Bell: Dow Heads For 20,000 As Stocks Rise, Gold Falls Ahead of Fed

FYI: The final countdown to Dow 20,000 is on.

It’s taken nearly 120 years to get to this point, but the Dow Jones industrial average was within 50 points of its biggest milestone yet: Dow 20,000.

The race to 20,000 for the blue chip stock index, which began way back in 1896, picked up speed after Election Day, as investors began to price in a better economy and stronger profit growth from U.S. companies due to president-elect Trump’s more business-friendly policies.
