edited August 2018 in The Bullpen
FYI: U.S. stocks rose Tuesday, testing new peaks as a recent uptrend put the market on track to extend gains for a fourth straight session. Tuesday’s advance comes as the U.S. equity run is a day away for becoming the longest, uninterrupted bull market in history. The S&P 500 backed off and closed the trading day at 2,864. S&P 400, Russell 2000, Dow transports book records

Eight of the eleven S&P 500 Sectors were up. Led by XLY, XLC, and XLI

Ted
