US close: Dow Jones delivers fifth-straight daily gain
(Sharecast News) - Major indices turned in a mixed performance on Tuesday as the blue-chip Dow Jones registered its fifth positive session in a row.
At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.08% at 38,884.26 and the S&P 500 saw out the session 0.13% firmer at 5,187.70, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.10% to 16,332.56.
The Dow closed 31.99 points higher on Tuesday, extending gains recorded in the previous session as sentiment continued to get a boost from last week's nonfarm payrolls data thanks to the combination of higher unemployment and weaker-than-expected payrolls and average earnings figures.
There was little in the way of market-moving news on Tuesday, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury dropping roughly three basis points to 4.45% being one of the day's main events.
In the corporate space, media giant Disney posted better-than-expected quarterly numbers, revealing that its streaming business had nearly broken even during Q1, while Palantir shares were down double-digits on weaker-than-expected guidance, and Peloton stock rallied on news that private equity firms were mulling a buyout of the fitness company.
On the macro front, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis head Neel Kashkari said that he believes interest rates will need to be maintained at current levels for an "extended period" and fell short of ruling out further rate hikes if inflation stalls near the 3% mark. "I think it's much more likely we would just sit here for longer than we expect or the public expects right now until we see what effect our monetary policy is having," Kashkari said.
