Nasdaq Composite Marks 2nd Record Close Of 2016
The Nasdaq Composite narrowly logged its second record closing high of 2016 on Tuesday, even as weak productivity data curbed stock-market gains. The Nasdaq climbed 12 points, or 0.2%, to 5,225. The S&P 500 was flat at 2,182, as losses in energy shares offset gains in consumer staples and health care stocks.
