The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose to a record high for a second straight day on Tuesday. The Dow closed at 21,963.92 after gaining 0.3 percent thanks to a flurry of strong earnings reports recently from industry leaders including Boeing, Chevron, Intel, and Apple. The Dow has now set records on 31 days this year, and it is poised to start Wednesday with fresh gains, with Dow futures edging higher and putting the blue-chip benchmark stock index in position to break the 22,000 level for the first time. The other two main U.S. indexes, the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, also finished with gains on Tuesday, both rising about 0.2 percent. Source: MarketWatch, Bloomberg |
