Stocks rose after a report showed U.S. inflation was not as bad last month as economists expected. Tuesday’s gains came even though oil prices continue to climb on worries that the United States and Iran may return to all-out war.
The S&P 500 rose 0.4%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.9%.
Stocks got a lift from easing yields in the bond market, which fell following the better-than-expected inflation data. Chip stocks and other AI winners rebounded, while big U.S. banks reported strong profits. IBM was an outlier and fell sharply.

The S&P 500 rose 28.25 points, or 0.4%, to 7,543.59.
