U.S. stocks closed slightly lower on Tuesday for the first time in six days. Stocks had been in advancing for nearly a week, but investors had minimal incentive to elevate stocks higher as trading volume slowed considerably with 2009 coming to a close.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 1.67 points, or 0.02 percent on Tuesday, ending at an unconfirmed10,545.41. The Nasdaq Composite Index also experienced losses falling 2.68 or 0.12 percent to close at 2,288.40. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index slipped 1.58 points, or 0.14 percent, to finish at 1,126.20.
