Dow Flirts With 18,000 Closing at Record High Along With S&P 500

TheStreet

Record highs again for the Dow Jones Industrial and the S&P 500. Stocks rose on a stronger-than-expected November jobs report. Earlier in the day, the Dow came within 10 points of hitting 18,000. Energy once again held back the rise. Chevron (CVX) was the worst performing blue chip for a second straight day. Exxon Mobil (XOM) gave up 0.58%. Airlines added to gains from falling oil prices. Delta (DAL), United Continental (UAL) and American Airlines (AAL) soared even higher from Thursday's advances. Financials led the markets. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS) were the Dow's biggest gainers. And some revisions on Wall Street moved some big names in tech. Google dropped more than 2% after an analyst downgrade. Facebook (FB) and Yahoo (YHOO) both added more than 1% after bullish calls.
