Nasdaq closes over 4,000 for first time since 2000
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks finished just slightly higher on Tuesday after erasing some gains in the final minutes of trading, but the Nasdaq Composite achieved its first close above 4,000 since September 2000, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out another record close. The S&P 500 edged up 0.27 point to end at 1,802.75, below its record close on Friday. The Dow rose 0.26 point to finish at 16,072.80 for its fourth straight record close. The Nasdaq tacked on 23.18 points, or 0.6%, to finish at 4,017.75. Encouraging data for the housing market offset a weaker-than-expected reading on consumer confidence.
