How major US stock market indexes fared on Monday
U.S. stocks closed slightly higher Monday, nudging the Dow Jones industrial average to a record high for the 12th consecutive time. The Standard & Poor's 500 index also closed at an all-time high.
The last time the Dow had a longer winning streak was early January 1987, when it notched gains for 13 days in a row. The tiny gains came after an indecisive day for U.S. stocks that sent indexes wavering between small gains and losses.
On Monday:
The Dow Jones industrial average added 15.68 points, or 0.1 percent, to 20,837.44.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 2.39 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,369.73.
The Nasdaq composite added 16.59 points, or 0.3 percent, to 5,861.90.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks picked up 13.44 points, or 1 percent, to 1,407.97.
