"US stock advanced on Tuesday, and closed higher following a sudden pullback in tech shares, as investors assessing the latest round of upbeat earnings against a backdrop of growing concerns over slowing growth and rising borrowing costs. Moreover, reports Monday indicating a sharp drop in New York state manufacturing along with the longest streak of declines since 2007 in homebuilder sentiment sparked optimism in equity markets that the Fed may slow interest rates hike," said Marc Despallieres, Chief Strategy & Trading Officer at Vantage.
