The fastest 1,000-point move of the Dow in its history, after the release of stronger-than-expected jobs data.
It's the underlying strength that is pushing markets this high.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq also hit all-time highs.
Economists expected a gain of 190,000 jobs. The U.S. private sector added 250,000 jobs in December.
"This was a solid number and with a near record amount of job openings, maybe more people are coming off the sidelines, enticed by higher wages which are coming," said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Financial Group.
In 2017, the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all rose at least 19.4 percent.
