Dow, S&P 500 end at third straight record; Nasdaq retreats
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 ended at records for a third consecutive session after modest gains Wednesday. The Russell 2000 index of small stocks rose for a 14th straight session to also end at a record. However, the Nasdaq Composite declined slightly, retreating from the all-time high set on Tuesday. Trading volume was lower than usual due to investors eager to head out for the Thanksgiving Holiday. The S&P 500 gained 1.72 points, or less than 0.1%, to 2,204.66. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 59.31 points, or 0.3%, to 19,083.18. The Nasdaq Composite ended the session off 5.67 points, or 0.1%, at 5,380.68. The Russell 2000 index rose 6.16 points, or 0.5%, to 1,340.50, according to preliminary FactSet data.
