The stock market just made history.

The Dow Jones Industrial broke through its previous intraday all-time high of 18,668 as soon as the market opened for trading on Wednesday.

As of 9:37 a.m. ET, the dow was trading up 142 points at 18,732, a 0.76% gain. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were also up 0.77% and 0.81% respectively.

This comes just two days after the futures markets were down more than 800 points overnight during the US presidential election.
