NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 5, 2018 / On Thursday, all three major indexes rose for the third consecutive day, with the Dow Jones crossing the 25,000 plateau for the first time ever. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.61 percent to close at 25,075.13, while the S&P 500 Index increased 0.40 percent to close at 2,723.99. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.18 percent to close at 7,077.91. This marked the first time the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have closed at record highs for three consecutive trading sessions to begin the new year since 1964 and 1999, respectively.

?Momentum was the single-biggest factor driving prices in 2017, and that remains the case so far this year. Valuations are stretched, no question, based on historical standards, but they're OK relative to bond yields and inflation, which means we're not overly concerned about them at this juncture,? said Michael Mullaney, director of global market research at Boston Partners, according to MarketWatch.
