NEW YORK -- U.S. stock indexes are tiptoeing around their record levels on Tuesday as an incredibly busy week for Wall Street picks up momentum.

In a crucial week for the U.S. economy, Wall Street reacted in mixed fashion to President Trump’s deal with the European Union, just five days before steep tariffs were set to go into effect on one of the United States’ most valuable trading partners.

Wall Street's major indices opened mixed on Monday after the U.S. and the European Union struck a trade deal, sending stocks higher. The US-EU trade deal, reached on Sunday, lifted U.S. stocks, but gains have been fading through the early morning trade.
