The Dow Jones Industrial Average set a third straight record high Tuesday, the only major index to end the day higher.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq and benchmark S&P 500 closed down a respective 0.6% and 0.3% to snap two-session winning streaks, while the blue-chip Dow ticked 0.1% higher to set its third straight closing record in addition to its latest intraday mark.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury—which impacts interest rates on a variety of consumer loans including mortgages—traded below 4.15% at 4 p.m. ET, down from Monday’s close of 4.21%. The December U.S. retail sales reading came in flat when economists expected a 0.4% monthly rise. Excluding auto sales, retail sales were unchanged; a rise of 0.3% was predicted.

In post-earnings moves, shares of Spotify (SPOT) soared 15% and Credo Technology Group (CRDO) jumped 9%, Hasbro (HAS) added 7.5%, ON Semiconductor (ON) was up 3.5%, and AstraZeneca (AZN) advanced nearly 3%, Upwork (UPWK) sank 19%, Coca-Cola (KO) was down 1.5%, and CVS Health (CVS) ended slightly lower.

Datadog (DDOG) led S&P 500 gainers with a 14% advance, while S&P Global (SPGI) and Raymond James Financial (RJF) led decliners with drops of nearly 10% and 9%, respectively, as worries about AI hit financial stocks, especially wealth-management firms. Recent announcements from companies building AI applications have lately shaken up stocks in those industries.

Shares of AppLovin (APP) and Oracle (ORCL) were up a further 2.7% and 2% after pacing the S&P 500 Monday. Microsoft (MSFT) and Nvidia (NVDA) shares finished down less than 1% each after they led the Dow yesterday with respective advances of about 3% and 2.5%.

Bitcoin was trading around $69,000, down from overnight highs closer to $71,000. The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the value of the greenback against a basket of global currencies, was near flat at 96.80.

Gold futures were 0.4% lower at $5,060 an ounce, while silver futures declined 1.7% to around $80.80 an ounce. West Texas Intermediate crude futures, the U.S. benchmark, were 0.4% lower at just above $64 a barrel.
