Blue chip stocks emerged as the clear winners Tuesday, with strong gains in several high-priced names sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a new record high. But weakness in the tech sector kept pressure on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite.

With JPM trading at $331 per share and V at $333 per share, these two have an outsized influence on the price-weighted Dow.
