What's behind the record stock market highs

Season 2024 Episode 139 | 4m 19s

This has been a big week for the stock market. The Dow Jones, the much broader S&P 500 and the NASDAQ all reached record highs with the Dow crossing the 40,000 threshold for the first time. The markets have rallied back from the recent lows of 2022 and the Dow is about 40 percent higher than when the pandemic started. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Roben Farzad of Full Disclosure.
