Stocks finish at record highs again
Wall Street closed at record highs again at the start of the week with the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite all marking fresh all time highs.
This is, hoever, only the second time that all three indexes actually made record highs on the same day since 1999.
Oil was the driver, rallying on the OPEC sentiment that took the S&P 500 up by 6 points at the close, or 0.3%, to 2,190, driven also by materials and industrials shares. The Nasdaq Composite finished 29 points, or 0.6%, to 5,262 while the Dow added 60 points, or 0.3%, to 18,635.
