Major averages shot to their session highs in the final minutes of trading.
The market was on track to register perhaps its largest Election Day gain ever, though the historical trend has been for a late-day selloff. Traders weren't making any bold predictions.
"If you look at what's happened over the last two months, everything we've thought about the economy, about markets, about charts, about everything has been completely destroyed," Peter Costa, of Eckhardt & Co., said on CNBC. "So I don't know if we really want to start reading anything into that late day selloff on Election Day."
