Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq edge up to new record peaks

Wall Street stocks edged up to fresh records Tuesday as the bull market marched onwards following solid economic data while the Federal Reserve opened a two-day policy meeting.

All three major indices were at records at the closing bell, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average at 22,372.91, its sixth straight record.

The broad-based S&P 500 rose 0.1 percent to 2,506.72, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 0.1 percent to 6,461.32.
