The last time the$道瓊斯指數 (.DJI.US)$climbed for 13 straight sessions, Paul Volcker was finishing his inflation fight at the Federal Reserve. Today was Jerome Powell's turn.
The blue-chip index on Wednesday notched a 13th consecutive advance for the first time since January 1987, rising as the Fed increased interest rates to a 22-year high.
The Dow wavered between small gains and losses throughout the day, eking out a 0.2% increase after Powell, the current Fed chair, suggested the central bank might consider pausing rate hikes at its September meeting. The$標普500指數 (.SPX.US)$edged less than 0.1% lower, while the tech-heavy$納斯達克綜合指數 (.IXIC.US)$fell 0.1%.
