The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1,236 points, or 2.4%, Wednesday as Democrats' victories in both chambers of Congress and President Donald Trump's acceptance of the midterm results eased political uncertainty across US markets. The index had gained 1,022 points, or 2%, shortly after the opening bell before extending its advance. The S&P 500 rose 1.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite added 2.1%, putting gains across the three major US stock indexes. Healthcare and solar stocks led some sector moves. Molina Healthcare and Centene each rose 6%, HCA Healthcare added 7%, and the Invesco Solar ETF jumped 9%.
