How Major US Stock Indexes Fared Jan. 28

By The Associated Press

Rebounding tech stocks drove U.S. indexes higher a day after they tumbled on doubts about whether the artificial-intelligence frenzy really needs all the dollars being poured into it.

The S&P 500 rose 0.9 percent Tuesday and clawed back more than half of its earlier drop. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.3 percent, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 2 percent.

The spotlight remained on Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the move into AI. It climbed nearly 9 percent. Treasury yields held relatively steady ahead of an announcement coming Wednesday about what the Federal Reserve will do next with short-term interest rates. Traders expect it to hold steady.

On Tuesday:

The S&P 500 rose 55.42 points, or 0.9 percent, to 6,067.70.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 136.77 points, or 0.3 percent, to 44,850.35.

The Nasdaq composite rose 391.75 points, or 2 percent, to 19,733.59.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 4.84 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,288.86.
