It’s Not Just the CPI: Goldman Sachs Is Turbocharging the Dow

view original post

The stock market was rallying broadly on Wednesday, but Goldman Sachs was giving the Dow a big boost.

With the Dow up 657 points, or 1.6%, Goldman Sachs’s 5% gain added more than 175 points to the Dow on its own.

The Dow weighs its members by stock price rather than market cap, so Goldman Sachs stock, with a stock price right around $600, is the index’s heaviest hitter.
