Dow, S&P inch up as AI surge faces $80 billion hurdle
U.S. stocks finished Tuesday little changed. The Dow picked up 149.01 points, or 0.29%, to 51,227.89. The S&P 500 was up 4.85 points, or 0.06%, at 7,604.81. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 13.96 points, or 0.05%, closing at 27,072.85. Buyers stuck with AI names, while companies with high spending needs and Middle East risk got less support. Tim Ghriskey, senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder, said it was “a mixed market today.”
