Despite a sharp drop near the end of the last trading session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed to end up positive for the day.

Trading was intense on the Dow Jones Wednesday, with a drop down to 38,364 near the close of trading. However, the market recovered unexpectedly with a sharp climb just before trading ended, resulting in a 48 point gain for the day.

The Dow Jones closed with a gain of 0.13% and is still retaining its gains from a high month. The 5-day total is not as rosy, though, as the market has only gained 0.62% in that time. However, the 30-day total has resulted in a gain of 1.61% or 610 points.

S&P 500 closed up as well, with an increase of 0.13%. The Nasdaq Composite was down, though, falling 0.32% by the close of trading.
