President Trump declared the ‘Highest Stock Market In History, By Far!’ in a tweet on Wednesday, as stocks hit an all time record high.
The market was reacting positively to news from the federal reserve that indicated that rates would remain unchanged for the forseeable future.
As The Hill reports:
The S&P 500 closed at a record high of 3,386, while the Nasdaq composite closed at 9,817, beating previous closes by less than a point each. Both indexes touched even higher during midday trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, was up 115 points.
President Trump hailed the rise in the markets earlier in the day as the “Highest Stock Market In History, By Far!”
