Wall Street finished sharply higher on Tuesday, with semiconductor stocks leading a broad-based rally despite fresh geopolitical and trade concerns.
The Nasdaq paced the gains, climbing 329 points, or 1.3%, to 25,837 as investors piled back into chipmakers after recent weakness. The S&P 500 rose 66 points, or 0.9%, to 7,509, while the Dow Jones added 385 points, or 0.7%, to close at 52,225.
Technology shares were the standout performers as optimism returned to the semiconductor sector, helping offset concerns over escalating tensions in the Middle East and new US tariffs targeting Canadian imports.
Investors appeared willing to look beyond the latest geopolitical headlines, instead focusing on a busy stretch of corporate earnings that could set the tone for markets through the rest of the week.
The spotlight now turns to Wednesday's earnings calendar, one of the busiest of the season. Before the opening bell, investors will hear from Philip Morris, GE Vernova and AT&T. After markets close, attention will shift to Big Tech, with Alphabet, Tesla and IBM all scheduled to report results.
