The Dow and S&P 500 recorded fresh all-time highs Thursday with investors waving off the tit-for-tat exchange of newly imposed trade tariffs placed on U.S. and Chinese goods and focusing on the latest, positive economic data.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 251.22 points, or 0.95 percent, to 26,656.98 -- marking the Dow's 100th record close since the election of President Donald Trump and its first since January. The broader S&P 500 jumped 22.8 points, about 0.8 percent, to 2,930.75. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 78.19 points, or 0.98 percent, to 8,028.23.

Tomorrow is a quadruple witching day (futures and options on indexes and individual stocks expire). But this time there are some additional S&P 500 related reclassifications going on that could produce some volatility.

The DOW Industrial 30, is 175 points and change from a 50% increase since the opening bell the day before the November 2016 election.

A moderate gain tomorrow, could put Trump’s market over the 50% increase figure.

They can’t within 215 or so in January of this year.
