Good MorningTuesday market action saw most indices follow through on Monday’s gains. Both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite were able to move up and set new all-time highs while the Dow Jones Industrias lagged behind to snap a four-day winning streak.
The reason the Dow lagged in Tuesday trading is simple. Tuesday is the day Apple’s four-for-one stock split began to take effect. The process takes days and could weigh on the Dow Jones Industrial Average until it’s completed or longer. Because the Dow is a price-weighted stock the impact of Apple’s shares will be far less than before.
In other news, investors were unfazed by weaker than expected consumer confidence data and chose instead to focus on the housing market. The sales of new homes surged much more than expected to 901,000 annualized units and adding fuel to the market’s melt-up.
