Dow Jones Holds Near 52,200 After Rollercoaster Session

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day around 52,200, up roughly 250 points. The index initially surged on what traders described as the cleanest bullish catalyst of the month, but later retraced the bulk of those gains.

The session's reversal left the blue-chip index clinging to a modest advance, reflecting underlying uncertainty despite the favorable catalyst. The pullback suggests that sellers were quick to lock in profits, keeping the market's recent range intact.
