"Dow, S&P close highest since Jan. '22 as stocks rally ahead of Fed"
"US stocks closed firmly in the green on Tuesday as a key inflation report showed prices largely holding steady ahead of the Federal Reserve's final 2023 policy meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) closed up about 0.5%, or more than 150 points — its third-highest close ever.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) also finished the day up around 0.5%, notching its best close since Jan. 14, 2022. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) led the day, up roughly 0.6%, after all three major gauges closed Monday at their highest levels since early 2022."
