NYSE Indices Mixed at Tuesday’s Close

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) indices settled mostly lower on Tuesday, as Wall Street investors reacted negatively to the U.S. Congress failing to reach a deal on the new economic stimulus package with many differences between Democrats and Republicans.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down by 0..38%, while the S&P 500 index plunged by 0.79% after approaching a record level earlier today.

On the other hand, the Nasdaq Composite index surged by 1.67%, gaining around 183 points.
