The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 179.32 points to end the day at 26,966, notching intraday and closing all-time highs. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.7% to 8,170.23.

The S&P 500 also rose 0.7% to 2,995.82 as the real estate and consumer sectors powered the broad index to record levels. Tech also boosted the index, rising 0.7% to a record high. The S&P 500 closed just 0.1% below 3,000.

"The first time we get there you'll probably see some profit-taking," said Scott Redler, partner with T3live.com. "If technology continues to be strong and the semiconductors get some kind of bounce, that could probably push the S&P 500 through it 3,000. It's good to see the FANG names show some power."
