Which index reached its pre-dot-com-crash peak on March 10, 2000?

The Nasdaq Composite reached its pre-dot-com-crash peak on March 10, 2000.

The index closed at 5,048.62 that day, marking the high point of the dot-com bubble. Technology, internet, and telecommunications companies had attracted enormous investment despite many firms having little revenue or no profits. The Nasdaq was especially exposed because it contained a large concentration of technology shares.

After the peak, the index began a long decline as investors reassessed unrealistic business models and valuations. The collapse was not a single-day event like the 1987 crash; it unfolded over several years and became a broader bear market in technology stocks.

The Nasdaq Composite is a market index containing thousands of stocks listed on the Nasdaq exchange. It should not be confused with the Nasdaq-100, which tracks 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed there.
