It had to end sometime. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 declined 0.20%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.15%, snapping an eight-day winning streak for the U.S. markets.
The bad news is that the S&P 500 could have tied its best winning streak of 9 consecutive daily gains from November 2004. Instead, investors will have to live with a nearly 8% gain over the eight-day streak that puts it within 73 points of a 52-week high.
