Major US stock indexes closed on a mixed note Tuesday, with gains in technology and industrial shares pushing the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 to fresh record highs, even as weakness in energy stocks weighed on the broader market.
The S&P 500 advanced 46 points, or 0.62%, to finish at 7,519.47, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 311.92 points, or 1.18%, to close at 26,655.89.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, slipped 106.60 points, or 0.21%, ending the session at 50,473.10 as declines in energy and consumer staples stocks offset gains elsewhere.
Investor sentiment was supported by easing Treasury yields and optimism surrounding international trade discussions and diplomatic negotiations, which helped fuel buying in growth-oriented sectors.
Technology shares remained the primary driver of gains, with investors continuing to position around artificial intelligence-linked momentum and resilient corporate earnings expectations.
The mixed close on Wall Street came as global investors also tracked volatile trading across Asian markets, including BSE Sensex and NIFTY 50, which recovered from early losses during Tuesday’s session. Indian benchmarks rebounded on the back of value buying, easing volatility, and renewed foreign institutional investor inflows, according to market analysts.
Analysts said concerns over oil prices, inflation, and geopolitical tensions continue to keep investors cautious, even as global equities attempt to extend recent gains.
