NEW YORK: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose on Wednesday and closed at a record high, and Wall Street's two other benchmark indexes also ended higher, weathering declines in megacap tech shares thanks to small-caps gains and financial shares buoyed by strong earnings.
It was the third time in four sessions the Dow has recorded a best ever finish, ending above 43,000 points again and recouping losses from the previous session.
