The US markets ended higher on Tuesday, extending their previous session’s gains, as stocks that recently benefited from the retail trading frenzy moved sharply higher. Video game retailer GameStop, which is seen as the poster child for the so-called retail investor revolt, plummeted by 60 percent after plunging by more than 30 percent on Monday. The markets also benefited from a positive reaction to the latest earnings news, with Exxon Mobil moving notably higher after reporting better than expected fourth quarter earnings. Delivery giant UPS also showed a strong move to the upside after reporting fourth quarter results that exceeded street estimate on both the top and bottom lines.
Traders also remained optimistic about more fiscal stimulus after President Joe Biden met with a group of ten Republican Senators who have offered a counterproposal to his $1.9 trillion relief plan. Senator Susan Collins, R-Maine, called the meeting very productive and said the two sides plan to continue negotiations. A White House statement also described the meeting as productive but noted that Democrats could still use the reconciliation process to pass a relief bill without Republican support.
Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 475.57 points or 1.57 percent to 30,687.48, Nasdaq gained 209.38 points or 1.56 percent to 13,612.78 and S&P 500 was up by 52.45 points or 1.39 percent to 3,826.31.
