What Happened in the Stock Market Today

The stock market was little changed on Tuesday amid doubts that President Trump will be able to push forward his promised tax reform. In addition to rebukes from Democrats after a draft bill introduced last week revealed plans to sharply reduce corporate income taxes, some Republicans have voiced opposition over the proposed repeal of deductions on state and local income tax payments.

All told, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) mustered a slight gain today while the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) edged lower.
