Dow Seeing Further Upside But Nasdaq Extending Slump

After ending yesterday’s choppy trading session narrowly mixed, the major U.S. stocks indexes have once again moved in opposite directions during trading on Tuesday. While the Dow is seeing further upside, the tech-heavy Nasdaq has shown a notable decline.

Currently, the Nasdaq is well off its lows of the session but still down 204.02 points or 0.8 percent at 24,728.06. The S&P 500 is also down 7.81 points or 0.1 percent at 7,405.37, while the narrower Dow is up 358.36 points or 0.7 percent at 52,568.44.
