US equities finished higher in uneventful Tuesday trading, as the major averages finished near session highs though the upside was very limited. The Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq finished up 0.03%, 0.23%, and 0.36%, respectively. Nothing new on the US economic calendar for today and initial claims coming this Thursday are the only other meaningful release this week from a market perspective. The market is still largely devoid of big directional drivers. Overall, it has been quiet from a headline perspective given the dearth of key economic data and no Fedspeak due to the blackout period heading into next week's FOMC meeting.
