Market Climbs to New Highs in 1964 Record Run
The stock market reached historic highs in 1964 driven by record production profits and dividends. After a May–June pause, the Dow rose to a close of 871.71 on Nov 18, with AP and S P 500 records. A late November pullback followed rate hikes and tax changes. The year ended with optimism for 1965 and tax cuts, plus railroad labor settlement easing strike risk.
