Dow Finally Tops 52,000 With Some Help From Its Newest Member

The Dow finally closed above the 52,000 the same day its newest member joined a rally in Big Tech and chip stocks. Alphabet, which replaced Verizon in the Dow this week, led the index. “This month has been VERY volatile — some of the swings have been outright historic, and in the moment, honestly a bit unsettling,” writes Mizuho’s Daniel O’Regan.
