Stock Market Rally: Dow, S&P At Record Highs
Amid the current stock market rally, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 climbed to new high ground on Friday.
Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq sits just off its all-time highs amid the index's recent strength.
Friday's Big Picture commented, "The distribution day count was wiped clean as a result of Friday's gains. Distribution days for the S&P 500 on March 18 and March 23 were removed because the index rallied more than 5% from the closing price on each of those days. The Nasdaq's March 23 distribution day was removed for the same reason."
