On this sleepy Friday The Trump Rally extended, as stocks set more records in post-Holiday trading as technology companies outperformed, and Energy companies rose with the price of Crude Oil.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.34 points, or 0.2%, to 2,602.42.

The DJIA added 31.81 points, or 0.1%, to 23,557.99.

The NAS Comp gained 21.80 points, or 0.3%, to 6,889.16.

The Russell 2000 Index of smaller companies +2.40 points, or 0.2%, to 1,519.16.

The DJIA finished slightly below its record high from Tuesday, but the other major indexes closed at all-time highs.

Trading ended early after the Thanksgiving Holiday Thursday.

Some analysts are predicting strong sales over the holiday shopping time frame because of increased consumer confidence and a very low unemployment rate.

Have a terrific weekend.
