US equity markets opened in positive territory on Tuesday, extending a broad-based rally that has lifted major indices toward record levels.

The Nasdaq Composite led the advance, outperforming both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, signaling renewed investor confidence in technology and growth sectors.

The momentum was bolstered by strong earnings from Adyen, the Dutch payment processor, which reported robust profits that provided a lift to the AEX index.
