Dow Jones closes down 437 points, short of 20th record high close for 2026

The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down 13.96 points on Wednesday. The drop came after an earlier gain that saw it hit 52,742.66, but the Dow lost steam, slipping 437.42 points from that intraday high. It settled at 52,305.24, missing out on what would have been its 20th record close of 2026. In the last 30 minutes, the index needed just a small gain to get to that milestone.
