The Dow, at Monday's highs, soared more than 1,600 points, eclipsing February's all-time intraday high. However, the Dow finished 393 points short of February's closing record high. The S&P 500 also paired gains by the close after topping September's intraday all-time high early during Monday's session. (CNBC)
The Nasdaq closed lower as investors bailed on so-called stay-at-home tech stocks and piled into pummeled travel stocks on the hope that a coronavirus vaccine would soon help beat back the pandemic. That rotation trade was continuing, albeit at a slower pace, in Tuesday's premarket. Nevertheless, Nasdaq futures were sharply lower. (CNBC)
