The Stock Market Is in a Drought of Records

The stock market isn’t in a record drought, but it is in a drought of records. Wednesday’s session is the 20th day since the Dow Jones Industrial Average last marked a closing high, its longest streak of no closing highs since the 177-day period that ended Aug. 21, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The S&P 500 hasn’t marked a record close in 30 days, matching the 30-day streak that ended Dec. 10.
