US equity markets opened in positive territory on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite leading the advance.

The tech-heavy index outperformed both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, signaling renewed investor appetite for growth stocks amid a broader market rally.

The move extends a multi-day uptrend that has pushed major indices toward record levels.

After a mixed session on Monday, where the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained while the Dow slipped, Tuesday’s synchronized gains suggest a broadening of buying interest across sectors.

The divergence seen earlier in the week has narrowed as momentum returns to the market.

This rally comes as investors digest a relatively quiet macroeconomic calendar ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision on July 29.
