The US markets ended marginally higher on Tuesday. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 climbed fresh peak, and recorded new closing highs, while the Dow, which opened on a firm note, rebounding from losses in the previous session, ended with a small gain. Homebuilder stocks moved higher after S&P Case-Shiller said home prices rose more than 14% in April compared to the prior year. Five US cities, including Seattle, saw their largest annual increase on record. Semiconductor stocks gained strength later in the session, with Skyworks and Advanced Micro Devices climbing 4.5% and 2.8%, respectively. General Electric boosted the industrials sector, rising over 1% after Goldman Sachs named the stock a top idea.
However, gains remained capped as investors turned cautious and largely refrained from holding positions at higher levels as they looked ahead to crucial jobs data, due later in the week. Uncertainty about the pace of global economic recovery due to a surge in the delta variant of Covid-19 and fresh curbs on travel in several countries, including Spain, Portugal and Germany, weighed on sentiment.
Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 9.02 points or 0.03 percent to 34,292.29, Nasdaq gained 27.83 points or 0.19 percent to 14,528.33 and S&P 500 was up by 1.19 points or 0.03 percent to 4,291.8.
