There’s no doubt: US stocks are ending the year on a high note. The three main US stock indexes closed at new records on December 26 on continued optimism over a US-China trade deal and positive reports on holiday shopping. The Nasdaq gained 0.8% to finish above 9,000 points for the first time ever. The tech-heavy index has gained 36% in 2019, putting it on track for its best year since 2013.
