The reason being there was a press release after the close that delved into the details in the ongoing battle for Anxiter International (NYSE:AXE) between Wesco International (NYSE:WCC) and private equity firm Clayton, Dublier & Rice.

Where Does Boeing Go?
At the end of Monday's show, Boeing (NYSE:BA) said it will replace its CEO Dennis Muilenburg with David Calhoun. Based on that assumption, Dennis Dick speculated it would be a positive for the issue, as investors would applaud a change at the top to resolve the lingering crisis.
That turned out to be the case for the issue in Monday's session. After a much higher open, it retreated to $334.20 and resumed its move higher, reaching $340.59 before ending the session at $337.55.
On today's show, the author of this article noted the rally on Monday, but cautioned that the move did not bring the company any closer to a resolution of the problem. Also, it was important for the issue to clear and settle above Monday's high ($340.59) and continue to distance itself from the critical $320 support level.
After a higher open in Tuesday's session, the rally stalled ahead of Monday's high, only reaching $339.75.
