Description
U.S. equities rose on Tuesday, led by gains in Advanced Micro Devices and software stocks, as investors’ fears around artificial intelligence disruption to certain industries eased.

The 30-stock index was supported by a nearly 2% rise in Home Depot shares after the company’s earnings beat expectations for the first time in a year. IBM shares, which tumbled in the prior trading day as a result of aforementioned AI fears, also added to the Dow’s gains.
