What happened yesterday with the $DJIA is actually very rare.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average just marked its flattest finish in half a decade, which forced the blue-chip benchmark to narrowly miss its 10th record of 2019.
The Dow DJIA, +0.00% closed at precisely 27,691.49, which means the 123-year old benchmark produced its flattest finish since April 24, 2014, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The midland move for the equity index came as the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.16% advanced around 5 points, a gain of less than 0.2%, to finish at 3,091.84, near its previous all-time closing high of 3,093.08 set on Nov. 8., and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.26% added 22 points, or 0.3%, to end at 8,486.
Investors on Tuesday were focused on comments from President Donald Trump, who said a “significant phase one” trade deal could happen soon at a closely watched speech at the Economic Club of New York in Midtown Manhattan, but he failed to deliver any specifics on trade developments between China and the U.S., which have been a key catalyst for markets lately.
According to Motley Fool, citing data from Samuel H. Williamson and MeasuringWorth, flat finishes were more common for the Dow before 2001, notably because the New York Stock Exchange converted to decimalization quote system that year, allowing investors to trade in increments of pennies rather than eighths or sixteenths of a dollar.
