Dow Jones industrials pass 10,000
NEW YORK — The Dow Jones industrial average has reclaimed 10,000 for the first time in a year.
The Dow crossed five figures in afternoon trading today, seven months after it hit a 12-year low of 6,547.05 on March 9. The comeback by the stock market’s best-known indicator is the most visible sign yet that investors believe the economy is indeed recovering from the financial crisis and recession.
