The blue-chip index is on a three-day win streak for the first time since late August
Stocks closed higher for a third-straight session Tuesday, as investors monitored the geopolitical fallout from the Israel-Hamas war. The biggest move for the day came from the 10-year Treasury note, which fell 15 basis points today to 4.68%. The fall in bond yields across the board helped the Dow secure a third-straight triple digit win and its longest win streak since Aug. 30. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 logged outsized wins of their own, while the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) clocked to its lowest close since Sept. 25.
