That followed a strong regular session on Tuesday. Stocks moved higher as investors largely brushed aside concerns tied to the U.S. attack on Venezuela over the weekend. The S&P 500 rose 0.62%, the Dow jumped 0.99%, and the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.89%.
Market breadth was positive, with nine of the S&P 500’s 11 sectors ending higher, led by healthcare and technology. Among notable movers, Amazon (AMZN) and Palantir Technologies (PLTR) rose more than 3% each. Meanwhile, data storage stocks, including SanDisk (SNDK), Western Digital (WDC), and Seagate Technology (STX), were among the S&P 500′s top performers on Tuesday.
Looking ahead, investor focus will turn to earnings. Applied Digital (APLD), Constellation Brands (STZ), Cal-Maine Foods (CALM), and Albertsons Companies (ACI) are scheduled to report results today.
