Dow, S&P 500 close at new records in New York

Wall Street rose to fresh record closes today, boosted by gains in banking and financial stocks while investors eyed this week's meeting of the US central bank in Washington.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3 per cent, to end the session at 22,331.35, while the S&P 500 rose 0.2 per cent to 2,503.97, just a hair's breadth more than Friday's prior record finish.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq also eked out a positive finish, adding 0.1 per cent to reach 6,454.64 points.
