Wall Street witnessed a historic day with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching record highs. The Russell 2000 index also hit an all-time high, driven by easing global geopolitical tensions, post-election bullish momentum, and favorable seasonal trends. However, Bitcoin and Gold experienced a decline.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed nearly 1% to 44,736.57, the S&P 500 edged up 0.3% to 5,987.37, and the Nasdaq gained a comparable percentage to close at 19,054.84.
These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day:
Cassava Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:SAVA) plummeted by over 83% to $4.30. The stock’s crash followed an update on its Phase 3 trial for an Alzheimer’s disease treatment. The results did not meet primary endpoints, as predicted by ‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli.
