S&P 500 Draws Closer to January Record
The S&P 500 rose on Tuesday, stopping just short of ending its longest stretch without a closing record in two years. Signs of a buoyant labor market, strong consumer spending and extended corporate-earnings growth have helped U.S. stocks edge higher over the summer, even as worries about trade negotiations and fading growth in China cast a pall over major indexes elsewhere around the world. If the S&P 500 closes above the level, it will have cleared what some investors say has been a black mark for the stock market—reassuring those who have worried that a monthslong stretch without a new high pointed to broader weakness in the market.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite are on the climb too, as if all major benchmark indexes are holding hands to rally into a milestone some investors are celebrating.
