Dow Hits Highest Close Ever. Updated March 5, 2013 7:33 p.m. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to its highest closing level ever, finally overcoming the losses tied to the financial crisis on the back of a tenacious stock rally that began in March 2009. And the blue chips did it with an exclamation pointâa 125.95-point blast that left the old record in the dust.
Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq rose for a fifth straight week, while the Dow brought its string of weekly gains to three. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.85% rose 11.44 points, or less than 0.1%, to end at 20,821.76. The blue-chip average rose for an 11th straight day for the first time since 1992, as well as its 11th straight record closing highâthe longest such streak since 1987. The Dow had traded in negative territory for essentially the entire session, only breaking into the green with seconds to spare.
