> US stocks reached a record high as enthusiasm for artificial intelligence drove a buying frenzy on Wall Street. The S&P 500 rose 0.58 percent on Tuesday and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.45 percent, both setting new records. The S&P 500 is up 14 percent this year despite elevated oil prices and a sell-off in US government bonds.
