Wall Street’s main indexes rose on Tuesday, as an upbeat corporate earnings season and a pickup in global deals activity lifted demand for risky equities, although gains were capped by concerns around a surge in the variant of the coronavirus.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 25.9 points, or 0.07 per cent, at the open to 34,864.1. The S&P 500 rose 5.6 points, or 0.13 per cent, at the open to 4,392.74, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 32.9 points, or 0.22 per cent, to 14,713.99 at the opening bell.
