On today's episode of Market Domination Overtime, Yahoo Finance hosts Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton break down the market close and the day's biggest stories. The Dow Jones (^DJI) closed higher for the fifth week straight, at a record 40,000. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) dipped 0.07% and the S&P 500 (^GSPC) held above its 5,300 benchmark. Hennessy Funds CIO and Portfolio Manager Ryan Kelley and RBC Capital Markets US Economist Michael Reid break down what the Dow Jones record could signal for the overall economy as interest rates remain relatively high.
