U.S. stock markets experienced a day of mixed results, bouncing back from significant losses that had occurred earlier.
The S&P 500 index registered a slight decrease of less than 0.1% on Tuesday, marking its second consecutive decline for the first time in six weeks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day nearly unchanged, continuing its trend of record highs, with its most recent peak reached last Friday.
Conversely, the Nasdaq composite saw an uptick of 0.2%, buoyed by positive performances from several major technology firms, prominently including Microsoft.

In sector-specific news, GE Aerospace’s stock declined sharply after the company released revenue figures that fell short of investor expectations.
This downturn somewhat counteracted the positive momentum of General Motors, which enjoyed its most robust performance since 2020, exceeding profit forecasts.
