	U.S. stocks edged lower on Tuesday in choppy trading after hitting record highs, as investors worried about the path of economic reopening and whether the Senate would authorize additional pandemic aid checks. Modest gains in early trading brought stocks to an intraday record, but the advance evaporated after Republicans blocked an attempt by Democrats to increase direct payments to individuals to $2,000 from $600. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.22%, the S&amp;P 500 lost 0.22% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.38%. (Source: Reuters)</div>
