The Dow Jones Industrial and S&P 500 slipped to close slightly lower but still near record highs Tuesday. Already falling oil prices dropped another 2.2%. Crude futures for January delivery settled just above $74 a barrel. Energy was by far the worst performing sector. Exxon (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) both weighed on the blue chips. Airlines rose on falling fuel prices. Delta (DAL) and American Airlines (AAL) both gained in the session. Investors walked away from Sotheby's (BID) after finding out the auctioneer's outgoing CEO is eligible for a $4 million severance payment. But luxury jeweler Tiffany (TIF) sparkled. Shares rose nearly 2.5% despite missing earnings. Investors focused more on its same-store sales growth beating expectations.
