The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded higher for 13 consecutive days in July as falling inflation, better-than-expected earnings, and excitement surrounding artificial intelligence invigorated investors. That marks the longest winning streak for the Dow Jones since 1987 and one of only six times the blue chip index closed higher for at least 10 consecutive trading sessions in the last four decades.
