How the major stock indexes fared on Tuesday (AP)

Stocks closed slightly lower for the day, but it was the best January performance for the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 since 1997. Yields for ultra-safe U.S. government debt fell to their lowest level in four months as investors around the world waited for Greece to nail down a deal to reduce its crushing debt.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 20.81 points, or 0.16 percent, to close at 12,632.91.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 0.6 point, or 0.05 percent, to 1,312.41.

The Nasdaq composite gained 1.9 points, or 0.07 percent, to 2,813.84.

For the week:

The Dow is down 27.55 points, or 0.22 percent.

The S&P 500 is down 3.92 points, or 0.3 percent.

The Nasdaq fell 2.71 points, or 0.1 percent.

For the year so far:

The Dow is up 415.35 points, or 3.4 percent.

The S&P 500 is up 54.81 points, or 4.4 percent.

The Nasdaq is up 208.69 points, or 8 percent.
