The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded above 20,000 for the first time at the start of trading on Wednesday.

US share prices have been boosted by hopes that the economic policies of the new US President Donald Trump will boost his country's economy.

The index of leading US shares rallied after Mr Trump's election win and was close to breaking 20,000 on 6 January.

It fell back a bit but rose again after Mr Trump's signing of several executive orders since his inauguration.

Shortly after opening, the Dow was up 93.38 points at 20,006.09.

The other two main US share indexes also showed gains. The S&P 500 was 10.09 points higher at 2,290.16, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq was up 36.74 points at 5,637.70.

Mr Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway was quick to comment on the news, tweeting that the landmark was down to "The Trump Effect".
