The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) stocks have experienced a two-day rise in the stock market. Moreover, other stocks, such as the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500, have also observed an increase in the global market. The stocks were relieved after the earlier tension on the economy from the tariffs relaxed.

After he was fired, the companies felt their shoulders were lightened. Therefore, all stocks are on the rise, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). In this article, the stock performance of the companies and their trend in the stock market are analyzed.
