NEW YORK, July 1 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 reached its sixth consecutive all-time closing high on Thursday, as a new quarter and the second half of the year began with upbeat economic data and a broad-based rally.
Investors now eye Friday’s much-anticipated employment report.
The bellwether index is enjoying its longest winning streak since early February, and the last time it logged six straight all-time highs was last August.
“Historical data shows if you have a strong first half, the second half of the year was actually going even stronger,” said Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst with Baird Private Wealth.
