President Trump Breaks Another Economic Record: S&P 500 Incurs Best Week Ever!

The S&P 500 rose 4.8%, to 2760.16, last week, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1252.51 points, or 5.2%, to 25,538.46, and the Nasdaq Composite jumped 5.6%, to 7330.54.

It was the best week for both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq since Dec. 2, 2011.

This is true, but what Barron’s and no other publication notes, is that last week was the best week in S&P 500 history!

The S&P 500 rose 127.61 points last week – the most it has ever increased in a week.  On Friday November 23rd the S&P 500 closed at 2,632.  On Friday November 30th, the S&P 500 closed out the month of November at 2,760.  This is the largest point increase in a week ever.

The old record for the largest increase for a week was quietly set on February 16th of this year when the S&P 500 increased by 112.67.  The only other time the S&P 500 increased by more than 100 points in a week was the week ending on April 20, 2001.

President Trump has reached numerous economic records to date.  His work is clearly moving this great country in the right direction.
