Good MorningU.S. stocks pushed closer to record highs Tuesday as the S&P 500 climbed about 0.4%, the Nasdaq rose roughly 0.5% and the Dow gained about 91 points. Big tech helped lead the advance — NVIDIA jumped to $188.74 on heavy volume — even as a majority of S&P 500 components lagged, leaving markets trading on a narrow leadership base.
Data driving the moves were mixed. The economy expanded at a robust 4.3% annualized rate in the third quarter, the fastest growth in two years, powered by consumer and government spending. At the same time reports noted inflation remains elevated, tempering the upside for rate-sensitive sectors and investors betting on easy Fed policy.
Signs of strain in household sentiment persisted: the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index fell to about 89.1, its lowest since April, even as lower gasoline prices — roughly $2.86 a gallon nationally — offer some relief. Markets are weighing resilient growth against cooling confidence and sticky inflation. Featured: Sell these "safe" blue chips immediately (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
