U.S. stocks ended Tuesday's session with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite both setting record closing highs, according to 东方财富. All three major indexes finished the day higher, the report said. With the session closed, market attention is now shifting toward the upcoming corporate earnings season.
The same account notes that the technology-heavy Nasdaq pushed further into record territory during the day. Nvidia shares gained more than 1% and also reached a new high, 凤凰网财经 reported. Earlier in the day, U.S. equity futures had moved higher before the opening bell, while gold and silver posted modest gains and international oil prices continued their recent decline, 华尔街见闻 reported.
The record closes came as investors weighed a mix of asset classes. Pre-market trading pointed upward for equities, and the moves in precious metals and crude oil suggested a market positioning itself ahead of fresh corporate results. The source material did not specify which companies are due to report or when the earnings period formally begins.
What to watch next: whether the indexes can hold their record levels as companies begin releasing quarterly results, and how the earnings figures shape the market's direction in the sessions ahead.
