How major US stock indexes fared Tuesday

Wall Street gave up some of an early gain but still closed higher Tuesday. Good showings for big technology companies outweighed losses in banks and elsewhere in the market.

The S&P 500 rose 0.5% after being up more than 1% earlier. It’s the second straight sizable gain for the benchmark index following its worst week since June.
