Nasdaq edges up after-hours as more stocks join in, AI seen facing tighter price scrutiny
U.S. stocks closed up Tuesday, with the Nasdaq out front as buying broadened out beyond just AI leaders. That shift in breadth drew attention after the close. Fund managers looked for any sign the second-half rally could keep going with lofty valuations and a Fed still leaning hawkish. The main indexes closed up, Reuters/LSEG data showed. The Nasdaq was up more than four times as much as the Dow on a point-adjusted basis.
