A mixed session on Wall Street, with the benchmark indices little changed as investors remained largely impervious to the latest political noise out of Washington and allegations that President Trump shared sensitive information with Russia - Dow slipped -2-points and the broader S&P500 -0.07% (touching a fresh intra-day all-time high - 2,405.77 - earlier in the session). The technology-centric NASDAQ +0.11% continued its outperformance with a +0.33% gain to yet another record high. It was another tough session for retail stocks however Home Depot (up +%) bucked the trend after posting a strong quarterly result and projected a solid full-year outlook. Etsy soared +% after private equity group TPG and Dragoneer Investment Group acquired an 8% stake in the on-line marketplace and said they had offered to help the company explore strategic alternatives (could be positive for ASX-listed Redbubble Ltd (RBL)).
