U.S. stocks closed higher on Tuesday, led by the Nasdaq 100 Index up 1.93% as the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) rose more than 5%. Chipmakers and AI infrastructure shares rebounded as investors assessed an earnings season in which 91% of S&P 500 companies reporting Q2 results have topped estimates so far, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. Oil prices climbed more than 2% to a five-week high amid a 10th straight day of U.S.-Iran strikes, lifting bond yields and adding to shipping risk around the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea.
