The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 hit an all-time on Tuesday, Jan. 6, on the heels of the U.S. capture of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. By Thursday, Jan. 8, the Dow saw small gains after what Yahoo Finance called a “rocky session,” while the Nasdaq dropped slightly and the S&P 500 remained steady after a slight pullback.
“The Maduro capture is not a one-off event and is likely to have a domino effect far beyond,” said Arie Brish, business professor at St. Edwards University in Austin, Texas, and bestselling author of “Lay an Egg and Make Chicken Soup.”
