June 23, 2015: Markets opened higher on Tuesday but hovered either slightly over or slightly under the break-even line for most of the day. The expected boost from a possible solution to the Greek debt issue was short-circuited by some weak U.S. data on durable goods orders. New home sales came in higher than expected and put a little air under equities in the late morning. Shortly before the closing bell the DJIA traded up 0.15% for the day, the S&P 500 traded up 0.08%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded up 0.11%.

The DJIA stock posting the largest daily percentage gain ahead of the close Tues day was UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH) which traded up 1.80% at $122.42. The stock’s 52-week range is $78.74 to $123.76. Trading volume was about equal to the daily average of around 3.9 million. The company said today that it is leaving the health insurers’ largest trade group.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) traded higher by 1.15%% at $69.75. The stock’s 52-week range is $54.26 to $69.82, a new 52-week high posted this afternoon. Trading volume was below the daily average of around 14.6 million. The company had no specific news today.

The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) traded up 0.83% at $218.30. The stock’s 52-week range is $161.53 to $218.76, a second consecutive 52-week high. Trading volume equaled about the daily average of more than 2.4 million. The company had no specific news today.

The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) traded up 0.83% at $114.47. The stock’s 52-week range is $78.54 to $114.50, a second consecutive 52-week high posted this afternoon. About 4.6 million shares traded hands today, about 20% below the daily average of around 5.8 million. The company had no specific news today.

Of the Dow 30 stocks 17 are set to close higher today and 13 are on track to close lower.
