Major Indexes Eke Out Gains Within Minutes Of Closing Bell
Today all three indexes managed to close higher -- some turning black within minutes of 'last call'. The Dow and S&P 500 eked out modest gains, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq enjoyed a triple-digit pop. Price drops to Tesla's (TSLA) China Model Y unit and focus on upcoming consumer data had stocks struggling for direction most of the day.
