Dow Jones marking the best daily run since 2017
The Dow Jones Industrial Average continues its winning streak, surging by 300 points, marking the best daily run since 2017 with nine days of consecutive gains[1]. This is primarily attributed to strong earnings results from Johnson & Johnson, which saw a 6% rise in its stock after exceeding Wall Street’s expectations and increasing its full-year guidance[1]. However, the broader market witnessed a slight decline due to a dip in earnings from Netflix and Tesla. Netflix’s stock dropped by 9% while Tesla’s shares fell by 7% following the announcement of a slowdown in vehicle production[1]. Notwithstanding, about 74% of S&P 500 companies that reported earnings have surpassed expectations, fostering economic optimism[1]. The Dow’s winning streak is the longest since September 2019[1].
