U.S. stocks ended mostly higher on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each closing at record highs, as tech shares led the broader markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 66.84 points, or 0.24%, to 27,778.07. The S&P 500 added 7.79 points, or 0.23%, to 3,389.78. The Nasdaq Composite gained 81.12 points, or 0.73%, to 11,210.84.
Oil futures remained in a holding pattern Tuesday as traders looked ahead to data on U.S. crude supplies and a meeting by an OPEC+ panel charged with monitoring the effect of production cuts by major producers. West Texas Intermediate crude for September delivery closed unchanged at $42.89 a barrel. October Brent crude gained 9 cents, or 0.2%, to finish at $45.56 a barrel.
