The Dow Jones has reached a new record, with the S&P 500 also hitting a new high in a rally that has been ongoing for two weeks. The rally appears to be driven by various factors, including hopes for an end to the Iran war, although some outlets suggest that the surge may not be entirely sustainable. The record-breaking market performance has been accompanied by notable movements in specific stocks, such as NVIDIA, and has also sparked interest in other investments, like gold.
