It's up more than 8% for November. The Dow rose 186 points, with a big push from Salesforce. The Nasdaq edged down 0.3%. The market has been marching steadily higher in recent weeks as investors hope the Federal Reserve is finally done raising interest rates, which fight inflation by slowing the economy. Those hopes got more support with a report that the Fed's preferred measure of inflation cooled last month.
