  U.S. stocks finished higher on Tuesday, as the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite set fresh records ahead of Wednesday's Juneteenth observance.
  
  Nvidia Corp. stock surged 3.5%, making the AI chipmaker the world's most valuable company by market capitalization, eclipsing megacap tech companies Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc.
  
  The S&P 500 was up 0.3%, to finish around 5,487. According to preliminary data from FactSet, it was the 31st record close for the large-cap benchmark index so far in 2024.
  
  The Nasdaq Composite ended flat at around 17,862, notching its 20th all-time closing high for the year. The index also rose for seven consecutive trading days, booking its longest win streak since December.
  
  The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.2%, ending near 38,834.
  
  U.S. stocks spent most of the Tuesday session wavering between gains and losses after May retail sales data showed consumers have been more cautious about spending amid elevated inflation and high interest rates.
  
  The New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq are closed on Wednesday, June 19, to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States, as are U.S. bond markets.
