The Dow Jones Industrial Average added more than 500 points in a single session, pushing the index to a fresh record high. The surge extends a powerful advance that has seen the blue-chip gauge soar roughly 10,000 points from its bottom on March 30.

The milestone reflects broad buying momentum, with the index breaking through its previous peak. The rally underscores a dramatic turnaround from the spring lows, when uncertainty weighed heavily on equities.

The move higher was broad-based, though details on sector performance were not immediately available. The psychological impact of a new high could further fuel bullish sentiment in the near term.
