The Closing Bell: U.S. Stocks Flat As Oil Slips: Gold Down, Financial Services & REITs Led Sectors

FYI: Wall Street hovered near record highs on Tuesday as weak oil prices offset gains in healthcare and technology stocks.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq edged up to all-time highs before a decline in oil dulled the gains.

A rally since late June has left the S&P 500 up nearly 7 percent in 2016, with many investors weighing stretched valuations against expectations for continued low interest rates.
