The Closing Bell: Dow Tops 19,000 For First Time

Ted

FYI: Retail names among the strongest of the day

U.S. stocks were little changed on Tuesday as major indexes pulled back from their latest in a string of all-time highs, on a day when both the Dow and S&P 500 topped psychological milestones.

Gains on the day were slight but broad, with only three of the S&P 500’s primary 11 sectors trading lower early. Consumer-discretionary names were among the biggest outperformers, lifted by retailers.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.45% rose 44 points, or 0.2%, to 19,002. The blue-chip index touched 19,014.73 early in the session, its first time above 19,000.
