  Trump won the New Hampshire GOP primary. The former president defeated former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, the only serious challenger remaining in the field. Haley will likely now face pressure to drop out, as New Hampshire was widely considered her best and last chance to beat Trump. Next up on the Republican primary schedule is Haley’s home state, where she’s down by 30 points, according to many polls. On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden easily beat Rep. Dean Phillips despite not even appearing on the ballot (he received write-in votes instead). Biden boycotted the primary after New Hampshire refused to comply with the Democratic National Committee’s decision to make South Carolina the first state to vote.

• Dow ends lower, S&P 500 hits third record high of 2024 as earnings ramp up
  (Tuesday market close) Major U.S. stock indexes...
  (Tuesday market close) Major U.S. stock indexes ended mixed Tuesday, as the S&P 500^® index (SPX) edged higher to post a record close for the third straight day, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average^® (DJI) faded after disappointing quarterly earnings triggered an 11% drop in member company 3M (MMM).
  
  "Equities turned in a relatively flat and choppy performance following a two-day rally that pushed the S&P 500 and Dow to all-time highs," according to Nathan Peterson, director of derivatives analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.
  
  Peterson said that despite some disappointing earnings reports, investors appear to still be leaning bullish, in part due a recent string of data that's bolstered confidence that the economy can manage a "soft landing" and avoid recession. Economic data outside of the manufacturing industry "appears to be supporting the soft-to-no-landing bullish thesis," he added.
  
  While stronger-than-expected economic numbers have boosted Treasury yields, "stocks have still managed to move higher, suggesting that net-net, good economic news is good news for the stock market," Peterson said.  Here's where the major benchmarks ended:
  
  The S&P 500 index rose 14.17 points (0.3%) to 4,864.60; the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 96.36 points (0.3%) to 37,905.45; the Nasdaq Composite^® (COMP) rose 65.66 points (0.4%) to 15,425.94.
  
  The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) gained about 4 basis points to 4.138%.
  
  The Cboe Volatility Index^® (VIX) fell 0.64 to 12.55.
