Dow Jones Industrial Average jumping to fresh highs, as investors shook off the threat of new tariffs from President-elect Donald Trump.
The blue-chip Dow advanced 123.74 points, or 0.28%, to close at 44,860.31, reversing course after dropping more than 300 points at session lows. The S&P 500 added 0.57% to 6,021.63. Both the Dow and S&P 500 notched new intraday and closing records. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 0.63% to 19,174.30.
Trump on Monday night called for a 25% tariff on products from Mexico and Canada, as well as an additional 10% levy on Chinese goods. He has already said he would impose a tariff of up to 20% on all imports, and an additional duty of at least 60% on products from China.
