How The Major Stock Indexes Fared On Tuesday

The Associated Press

Stocks mostly fell Tuesday as mixed reports on home prices and consumer confidence gave investors little incentive to step into the market. Rising energy stocks and a decision by IBM Corp. to double its stock-repurchase plan propped up the Dow Jones industrials but the Nasdaq composite index slid after Chinese Internet search company Baidu Inc. warned its revenue could take a hit as it switches its advertising system.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 14.21, or 0.1 percent, to 9,882.17.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 3.54, or 0.3 percent, to 1,063.41.

The Nasdaq composite index fell 25.76, or 1.2 percent, to 2,116.09.

For the week:

The Dow is down 90.01, or 0.9 percent

The S&P is down 16.19, or 1.5 percent

The Nasdaq is down 38.38, or 1.8 percent

For the year:

The Dow is up 1,105.78, or 12.6 percent.

The S&P is up 160.16, or 17.7 percent.

The Nasdaq is up 539.06, or 34.2 percent.
