The Dow ended lower Tuesday as investors locked in some profits on stocks and sent gold to a new closing high as geopolitical worries left the market a little jittery.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 36.88, or 0.3 percent, to close at 10,748.26, after see-sawing in the last few hours of trading.

The S&P 500 lost about 4 points, or 0.3 percent, while the Nasdaq ended up less than a point. The CBOE volatility index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, was below 28 at the closing bell.
