Most U.S. stocks rose after Coca-Cola and other companies reported stronger profits for the spring than analysts expected.
But more drops for chip stocks and other AI winners kept Wall Street’s gains in check Tuesday, and the S&P 500 rose a relatively modest 0.2 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1 percent, while the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.2 percent.
The slides for AI stocks were worse elsewhere in the world, and South Korea’s Kospi index tumbled nearly 11 percent. Oil prices continued to ease, which helped to pull Treasury yields lower in the bond market. Brent crude fell toward $82 per barrel.
