The Dow Jones Industrial Average has surpassed another major milestone.
It closed Tuesday above 15,000 points for the first time ever.
The Dow rose 87 to 15,056 points; a gain of 0.6-per cent.
Good economic reports, higher corporate profits, and support from central banks have eased investors’ concerns that another economic slowdown could upend the market.
Two months ago, the Dow recovered the last of its losses from the financial crisis.
So far this year it’s up 15-per cent.
