S&P nears record high on oil rally, healthcare curbs Nasdaq

The S&P 500 touched an 11-month high on Tuesday and was just 18 points shy of its record high, helped by gains in energy shares, while tumbling healthcare stocks capped gains on the Nasdaq. The S&P energy index surged 1.79 percent as oil prices hit 2016 highs due to supply constraints and a weak dollar. The stocks were among those giving the biggest boost to the S&P and the Dow.
