The Dow continues to climb, nabbing its eighth-straight win today, the longest winning streak for the blue-chip index since September 2019. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq nabbed their seventh win in the last eight trading days, the latter shrugging off a brief dip into the red. As investors weigh the latest earnings reports, Wall Street's "fear gauge," the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) logged its best single-session gain in nearly two weeks.
