US stocks closed higher on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both posting gains, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 5,432.37, and the Nasdaq climbed 0.5% to 16,789.10, driven by strong performance in tech and healthcare sectors. The Dow, however, dropped 0.2% to 39,123.45, weighed down by declines in industrial and financial stocks. Market participants attributed the mixed performance to sector rotation and ongoing concerns about inflation and interest rates.
