How major US stock indexes fared Tuesday

Stocks closed higher on Wall Street Tuesday as investors shrugged off the latest escalation of trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

Technology and consumer-focused companies had some of the biggest gains. The rally reversed nearly all the indexes' losses from a day earlier. Bond yields climbed and crude oil prices finished higher.
