The Closing Bell: Dow 20,000 In Sight, But Stock Market Struggles For Momentum

FYI: U.S. stocks were largely unchanged on Wednesday, with energy stocks slightly stronger and healthcare down a little, a day after the Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit record highs.

The Dow briefly rose to within 15 points of 20,000, the historic level it has threatened to breach for several days, but it relinquished that gain.

U.S. stocks have rallied since the Nov. 8 election, with the Dow up about 9 percent and the S&P 500 6 percent on bets that President-elect Donald Trump's plans for deregulation and infrastructure spending will boost the economy.
