U.S. stocks reached record highs Tuesday as continued enthusiasm for artificial intelligence outweighed concerns about elevated interest rates and government debt. The S&P 500 rose 0.58%, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.45%. Amazon advanced 1.95%, and Marvell Technology and Cisco climbed 5.81% and 4.54%, respectively.
The rally remained concentrated in technology and communications companies. Al Jazeera reported that the S&P 500 was up 14% in 2026 and the Nasdaq had gained 18.78%, while the U.S. 10-year bond yield remained above 5%. Rising yields have weighed on dividend-oriented sectors such as utilities, real estate and materials as bonds become relatively more attractive, CNBC reported. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury ETF attracted more than $3.2 billion in net inflows over the past month.
Falling crude prices supported gains elsewhere. Brent crude dropped 1.7% to $98.59 a barrel, helping India’s Sensex rise 0.95% to 73,067.81 and the Nifty add 0.98% to 22,776.10. Europe’s Stoxx 600 gained 0.4%, Germany’s DAX rose 0.8% and France’s CAC 40 advanced 0.4%.
South Korean stocks diverged Wednesday. The Kospi was down 0.27% at 6,922.59 shortly after opening and later ended lower amid technology losses and rising bond yields, according to Yonhap. SK hynix fell 1.02% in early trading, although Samsung Electronics gained 2.21%.
