S&P500
Snapshot of benchmark US stock indices on Tuesday:
Yesterday was another winning session for stocks. The S&P 500 (+0.7%) and the Nasdaq Composite (+1.6%) extended this week's gains, allowing the S&P 500 to recover its losses from 2025. The index is up slightly for the year, supported by a strong rally in megacap stocks and semiconductor manufacturers. NVIDIA (NVDA 129.93, +6.93, +5.6%) stood out in this regard, boosting the S&P 500 technology sector by 2.3%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average missed out on the rally due to a major loss in UnitedHealth (UNH 311.38, -67.37, -17.8%). As one of the most influential names in the price-weighted index, the stock dropped after news that CEO Andrew Witty is stepping down for personal reasons and the company is suspending its 2025 guidance due to higher-than-expected medical costs.
UnitedHealth's suspended guidance was a reminder that uncertainty remains in the market, but it didn't lead to broad-based selling.
Many stocks participated in the upward moves today, pushing the equal-weighted S&P 500 index up 0.2%.
The rally was also driven by fear of missing out on further gains, boosted by momentum from a notable de-escalation in the trade war with China and April's CPI report, which revealed no tariff-related inflation shock.
Additionally, the market was encouraged by the news that Saudi Arabia, during President Trump's visit, announced a $600 billion investment plan in the US.
The 10-year bond yield closed at 4.50%, up 13 basis points from Friday and 32 basis points higher than on "Liberation Day," when President Trump announced comprehensive tariffs for most countries.
