Dow Jones Today: DJIA Closes Higher on Cooler Inflation, Micron-Fueled Tech Rebound (Updated 4:15 PM EST, Dec. 18, 2025)
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 69.36 points, or 0.14%, to 47,955.33 on Thursday. The S&P 500 gained 0.78% and the Nasdaq climbed 1.37%, boosted by Micron’s strong outlook and softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data. November CPI rose 2.7% year-over-year, below forecasts, but data collection was disrupted by a government shutdown.
