U.S. stocks traded in a narrow range on Tuesday, following the Christmas holiday. Trading volumes were light as many investors remained on vacation.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite all saw little change during the session. The energy sector showed some weakness, while consumer staples saw slight gains.

Analysts attributed the quiet trading to the holiday season, with many market participants taking time off. They expect trading volumes to remain subdued for the rest of the week.

Looking ahead, investors will be watching for economic data releases and corporate earnings reports in the new year.
