It's been a good month for the stock market so far, and even though the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) hasn't seen quite the rebound that the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) have enjoyed, investors are still pleased. The Dow has risen 2.4% since the beginning of 2023, clawing back a fraction of its losses in the previous year. After a strong week, the Dow looked poised to fall slightly on Friday morning, with stock index futures suggesting the tiniest of declines.
