Left for dead as the pandemic crippled its marquee members, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has bounced back with the recovery trade. Its best November in almost a century has put it on the brink of 30,000.

The 30-company benchmark has surged 13% this month thanks to rallies in banks and manufacturers. Up in eight of the last 11 sessions, the Dow sits within 48 points of the milestone. It gained 1.6% Monday to close at an all-time high of 29,950.44.
