US stocks swing higher to new records on Tuesday as more strength from the AI economy offset the ongoing impasse between the US and Iran.

The S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow pared losses to hover above the flatline.

Heavyweight chip producers and companies in the AI infrastructure space were sharply higher to extend the momentum that has carried equity indices this year.

Broadcom jumped 5% ahead of its earnings tomorrow, while Lan Research, Qualcomm, and On Semiconductors added over 5% as the higher capacity for wafers by SK Hynix improved the output forecast for the sector.

Meanwhile, HPE surged 30% on a AI-fuelled guidance upgrade, and Marvell surged 20% after Nvidia CEO Huang stated it could be the next trillion dollar company.

In turn, energy prices remained higher as reports indicated strikes between Israel and Lebanon persisted despite US President's Trump signal of a ceasefire, which Iran claimed was necessary to restart peace talks and open the Strait of Hormuz.
