Was October 22, 2026 the stock market at a record high in United States?
KINDA
Maybe — the market isn't open yet, and the S&P 500 starts the day 0.8% below its Oct. 6 record close.
Why
- S&P 500 closed Wednesday at 7,757.17, up 0.6%
- Record close: 7,818.93 set October 6, 2026
- Needs roughly +0.8% today to set a new record
