Stock market today: Wall Street ticks toward records as its rally keeps rolling

U.S. stocks are flirting with their records again after several big companies delivered better-than-expected profits reports for the spring. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Tuesday and is on track to top its all-time high set in the middle of last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 220 points, a day after setting its own record. The Nasdaq composite added 0.3%. UnitedHealth Group helped push the market higher after reporting stronger results for the spring than analysts expected, despite losses it took due to a massive cyberattack. Treasury yields were mixed after a report showed sales at U.S. retailers held firmer last month than expected.
