The Dow broke decisively above the 51,000 mark for the first time, finishing at 51,032.46, driven by powerful gains in AI‑linked industrial and technology names.
The S&P 500 closed at 7,580.06, extending its remarkable nine‑week winning streak — its longest run since 2023 — as investors continued to reward strong earnings and the broadening impact of AI infrastructure spending.
The Nasdaq also set a new peak at 26,972.62, supported by renewed momentum across semiconductors and enterprise technology.
