NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Dow industrials rose Tuesday, moving ever closer to the 13,000 mark, while the broader market struggled as investors weighed upbeat corporate earnings and lower oil prices with weaker readings on housing and consumer confidence.
The Dow Jones industrial average (up 34.54 to 12,953.94) added 0.3 percent, retreating after hitting an intraday record of 12,989.86 during the session. It ended just a few points shy of the record closing high of 12,961.98 reached Friday.
Treasury prices rose, lowering the corresponding yields. The dollar fell versus the euro and was little changed versus the yen. Oil prices dropped two percent and gold prices slipped.
