The U.S. market turned in a mixed performance on Tuesday with investors mostly making stock specific moves, reacting to quarterly earnings updates and digesting the latest economic data.

The Dow ended lower by 10.55 points or 0.03% at 33,976.63. The S&P 500 edged up 3.55 points or 0.09% to 4,154.87, and the Nasdaq settled at 12,153.41, down 4.31 points or 0.04%.
