The Dow was once again on track for its first record close since Dec. 4 as Wall Street kicked off Tuesday’s session by selling some of this year’s biggest winners.
With the Dow up 251 points, or 0.6%, it was on track to top its current closing high of 45,014.04. It already traded at its highest levels on record today. The Dow has actually been on pace for a record close multiple times in recent weeks, but it’s seemed snakebitten on a few occasions.
The Nasdaq Composite, which has rattled off 20 closing highs this year, was down 0.8%. The S&P 500 was down 0.1%, too.
