US stocks finished Tuesday's session at a record high, with a rally in technology shares and a pullback in Treasury yields lifting the S&P 500 index to an all-time closing high, according to CNBC.
The gains in tech stocks, combined with easing bond yields, helped push the broader index past its previous record. Lower Treasury yields generally make borrowing cheaper and can make stocks, particularly growth-oriented technology shares, more attractive relative to bonds.
Investors are now looking ahead to Wednesday's trading session to see whether the momentum from the tech-led rally can continue. Market participants typically watch a mix of corporate earnings, economic data releases and shifts in bond yields for cues on near-term direction.
The record close caps a period of strength for US equities, with the S&P 500's performance closely tracked by investors as a broad gauge of market health. Strategists caution that record highs can be followed by volatility, particularly if yields or economic data move unexpectedly.
CNBC's preview is part of its regular coverage ahead of each trading day, aimed at helping investors anticipate the factors most likely to influence stock movements before markets open.
