Stocks closed in positive territory Tuesday,
with the Dow and S&P 500 both closing at record highs, boosted by
gains in the health care sector.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 89.16 points to end at 14,662.01, after hitting a fresh intraday high of 14,684.49 earlier in the session. UnitedHealth and Home Depot led the gainers, while Hewlett-Packard slumped.
The S&P 500 climbed 8.08 points to finish at 1,570.25. The next milestone for the S&P 500 is its all-time intraday high of 1,576.09, set on October 11, 2007. The Dow and S&P have zigzagged between gains and losses for the ninth trading session. The Nasdaq advanced 15.69 points to close at 3,254.86.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, ended near 13.
