Over the course of this past week, markets were largely driven higher as the result of some amazing Dow earnings. Roughly one-third of the Dow reported this past week, and the index has reached over 23,000, with potentially 24,000 on the horizon. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 hit new highs during this time as well. This week looks to be one of the largest earnings weeks of the season, and the way earnings have been going, markets could be pushing even higher.
