[5 minutes to read] Plus: Apple and Google team up

By Matthew Gutierrez and Shawn O’Malley

🔔 Ding, ding, ding — a brass bell marks the start and end of each trading day at the New York Stock Exchange. It’s not just for show — stock market officials say the bells celebrate the market’s resilience through the highs and lows, panic and euphoria, and ever-shifting tides of economic fortune.

“That bell is an important market,” the NYSE’s historian said. “It’s tradition. it’s very deeply rooted in our culture, and I think the culture of America.”

And for now, things look pretty great: Last week, stocks, gold, and bitcoin hit record highs.
