Good MorningStocks continued to rally Tuesday as tech leadership pushed benchmarks to fresh highs, with the S&P 500 setting another record and gains concentrated in large-cap tech names including NVIDIA, Microsoft and Amazon. Investors are still favoring AI-exposed names after a strong 2025, though the sector is watching regulatory and content risks that surfaced this week around high-profile chatbots.
Energy names jumped after reports that the United States is moving to re-engage companies with Venezuela’s oil sector, even as crude futures slipped on the day. Commodities were mixed: gold rallied, reflecting safe-haven demand, while portions of the aerospace complex and eVTOL developers saw renewed retail and institutional interest as investors rotate back into growth stories expected to scale in 2026.
Geopolitical developments are also reshaping flows. U.S. military activity tied to the Venezuela region and China’s export curbs on dual-use goods to Japan have pushed attention toward defense and supply-chain sensitive sectors, prompting caution alongside the broader market’s bullish start to the year.
