• US stocks were mixed on Tuesday, as the market's weak start to the year dragged on.

US stocks traded mixed on Tuesday, as the market's weak start to the year dragged on with the S&P 500 and Dow giving back big gains from the prior session.

The Nasdaq eked out a gain, though a bigger rally in mega-cap tech stocks had abated by the end of the day. Still, among notable names were Nvidia, which notched another all-time high of $535.76, while Amazon and Alphabet rose 1.34% and 1.43%, respectively.

At the same time, broader equity upside was held back as investor concern over future monetary policy returned. Treasury yields remained elevated, with the 10-year rate ticking further above the 4% threshold.

Investors are awaiting Thursday's release of consumer price data, which will inform the Federal Reserve on where to take interest rates.

Tuesday also saw oil prices rally by roughly 2%, despite Saudi Arabia's price slash earlier in the week.
