The Dow Jones Industrial Index or the Dow the tracks the performance of 30 of the largest and most widely held public companies in the United States.
The Dow is reaching record highs. It rose 10.97, or 0.09 percent, to 12,127.88, eclipsing the record close of 12,116.91 set Monday. The Dow also set a new trading high of 12,133.80, edging past a day-old record of 12,125.16 before giving back some of its gains.
