Nasdaq Pushes Higher and Heads for a New Record High

Stocks wavered to start the week, though markets were mostly shrugging off headlines out of the Middle East. The Dow was down 190 points, or 0.4%. The S&P 500 was flat. The Nasdaq was up 0.1%. The S&P and Nasdaq finished Friday’s sessions at closing highs, so any move higher would be a fresh closing high.
