The S&P 500 ended at its latest in a string of closing record highs, with its 12th record close out of 15 sessions in 2018. This is the first time the index has hit so many record closes in January, topping the previous record of 11 hit in 1964, according to the WSJ Market Data Group. The S&P 500 closed at a record 62 times over all of 2017, the second-highest number in its history. The top year for record highs was 1995, when it had 77 record closes.
