Stocks bounced back Tuesday as market participants brushed off geopolitical worries and cheered falling oil prices. A round of well-received earnings reports and a rally in tech stocks also lifted sentiment, with two of the three main equity indexes ending the day with new record highs.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 1% to 25,326 and the broader S&P 500 gained 0.8% to 7,259 — their highest closes on record — while the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.7% to 49,298.
