(Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks rose for a third day, though the surge in megacap tech shares wobbled with Congress negotiating a fresh relief package and European leaders agreeing on a landmark recovery plan. Oil jumped.
The S&P 500 added to its highest level since late February, with corporate earnings and positive vaccine news adding to sentiment that has powered an 8% rally since June 26. Four shares advanced for every one that fell. IBM Corp. jumped after sales estimates topped forecasts. United Airlines and Texas Instruments report after the close.
Risk assets remained in demand across the globe Tuesday, spurred by Europe’s 750 billion-euro ($860 billion) stimulus package that also tightens the region’s financial ties. A gauge of risk in Europe’s investment-grade debt dropped to the lowest since February and the shared currency was flat. The dollar fell and oil rose above $42 a barrel in New York.
The Nasdaq 100 was flat after closing at an all-time high, with investors awaiting a spate of megacap tech earnings later this week. The gauge has surged 25% in 2020, in large part to a meteoric advance in Amazon.com Inc., which added $117 billion to its market value just on Monday.
