Dow hits 24th record this year as Nasdaq slips

The blue-chip Dow marked its 24th yearly high, while the Nasdaq fell, highlighting a split between market leadership.

Wall Street’s blue-chip Dow logged its 24th high of the year, helped by what WSJ Markets characterized as strong earnings power driving the index to another record.

In contrast, WSJ Markets reported that the Nasdaq slipped, signaling weaker performance in tech-heavy trading even as the broader rally favored the Dow.
