To be sure, 1,000-point milestones for the Dow DJIA, +0.59% on their own don’t carry much significance in terms of market fundamentals or even technicals, but some analysts contend they are at least symbolically important as the bull market in stocks appears to maintain its hold in 2022.
That said, the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -1.33% and the S&P 500 SPX, -0.06% indexes were under pressure, down 1.6% and 0.1%, respectively, to underscore the divergence between the benchmark stock gauge and its peers which were driven lower due to losses in technology-related equities.

The Dow finished Tuesday up 214.59 points, or 0.6%, to close at an all-time high of 36,799.65, after it established an intraday record at 36,934.84.
That came after a Monday gain of 246.76 points, or 0.7%. #technology #marketwatch #maxco
