From Dow Jones & Company:



The S&P 500 is just a few points away from reaching record territory after nearly two years of bullish market activity. The U.S. large-cap benchmark rose 20.12 points, or 0.4%, to close at 4,774.75, leaving it less than 0.5% away from its previous record close at 4,796.56 set on January 3, 2022.

The market is on the verge of reaching record territory, signaling a historic and long trip for stock-market bulls. The S&P 500’s close on Tuesday brings it very close to its previous record set close to two years ago.

Overall, the S&P 500 is showing strong performance, with the potential to surpass the previous record close and enter new territory. This is a significant development for stock-market investors.
