Red-hot Dow closes above 26,000 for the first time

(CNN) –  The stock market is on fire. The Dow just zoomed another 300 points and closed above 26,000 for the first time.
The latest rush to buy stocks left the average up almost 8,000 points since President Trump’s 2016 election.
 The rally on Wednesday gave the Dow its best percentage gain since since November. And it showed that the upward trend remains intact despite a big reversal the day before. The Dow hit 26,000 on Tuesday morning before closing much lower.
