 But once again, a slow start this morning turned into gains this afternoon after the Federal Reserve commented that we were making progress towards reducing inflation, but we still have a long way to go. The Dow finished today up 158 points to 39,328, gaining 0.4%. The Nasdaq was up 145 points to 18,025, gaining 0.8%. And the S&P 500 up 33 points to 5,508, gaining 0.6%.
