Yahoo Finance Today's Research Reports on Trending Tickers: Box and Okta
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 18, 2018 / U.S. stocks closed up on Tuesday, as the Federal Reserve announced that it would be flexible in the face of changing conditions and will not move too quickly on changing monetary policy. Fresh round of corporate earnings along with central bank's comforting words help lift market enthusiasm. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.22 percent to close at 25,119.89, while the S&P 500 Index was up 0.40 percent to close at 2,809.55. The Nasdaq Composite Index increased 0.63 percent to close at 7,855.12.
"We've had a lull in trade talk, which has allowed investors to focus on earnings. In order for earnings to really provide a boost to stocks, we'd have to exceed expectations, and the potential for that is there," said chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial, David Joy. "Recent momentum has been positive," he added.
