Dow's 1,172-Point Round Trip Just Misses Post-Election Record


One of the biggest single-day reversals in stock market history left the Dow Jones Industrial Average just shy of a record close. The 30-stock gauge climbed 1.4 percent to 18,589.69 Wednesday, briefly surpassing its Aug. 15 high before paring the advance in the final 30 minutes, while futures traded in a 1,172-point range, going from down 867 points to 305 points up.
