Dow on pace for 39th record close of year
The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average was on pace for its 39th record close of 2024 on Thursday, helped along by solid retail-sales data and favorable employment figures.
Stocks have been pushing deeper into record territory for months, with the Dow extending its strong rally since a year ago — albeit with patches of turbulence in April, and again briefly in August and September.
