DAILY REPORT ON JANUARY 05, 2018
The Dow Jones industrial average rose above the 25,000 level for the first time on Thursday and other major indexes scaled new records, propelled by strong economic data both in the United States and abroad. It took less than a year for the Dow to add a 5,000-point milestone, which is the fastest since the index was created in May 1896.
Strong manufacturing and services sector data from the world's largest economies provided a bullish tone to the market on Thursday. The U.S. ADP National Employment Report on Thursday showed U.S. private employers added 250,000 jobs in December, the biggest monthly increase since March and well above economists' expectations of a rise of 190,000.
The data also boosted expectations for Friday's payroll data by the U.S. Labor Department, where economists have forecast non-farm job growth of 190,000 in December.
