Wall Street reaches more records on gains by Big Tech

Wall Street hit new records on Tuesday, led by technology stocks, with the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq all posting gains.

Broader market strength was supported by health care, retail, and industrial sectors, while small-cap stocks outpaced larger ones.

AI-focused tech companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, and Micron, drove much of the market’s momentum, though Nvidia slipped slightly.

Oil prices fell after recent gains, Treasury yields rose modestly, and gold and silver climbed amid geopolitical uncertainty, the AP has reported.

Investors are now focused on upcoming U.S. labor, services, and consumer sentiment reports, which will guide expectations for the Federal Reserve’s policy in 2026.
