Tuesday's closing prices for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were higher than those of the previous day, with large-cap growth stocks appreciating in the wake of the previous day's selloff as Treasury yields declined.


In tandem with yields, bank shares declined. The yield on benchmark 10-year notes fell from a three-year high to below 3 percent.


The Dow likewise closed lower, and the day's trading was bumpy, with key indexes fluctuating between gains and losses as investors anticipated the release of U.S. consumer price index and producer price index data on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.


Investors will search for indications that inflation is at its high.


The recent market decline has been fueled by concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve may need to act more aggressively to combat inflation. Numerous additional worries have added to the tension.


Jake Dollarhide, chief executive officer of Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa, Oklahoma, stated, "It's basically fear-based selling."


"It can't just be that the Fed will raise interest rates to combat inflation, because we've seen this before," he said. According to Dollarhide, investors have been concerned about everything from interest rates and inflation to the war in Ukraine, supply chain issues, and China's COVID-19 lockouts.


Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares increased by 1.6%, boosting the S&P 500 and Nasdaq the most.

Technology and growth stocks, whose valuations are primarily dependent on future cash flows, have been among the hardest affected during the recent selloff. The Nasdaq is down almost 25% so far this year.


The technology sector of the S&P 500 increased 1.6% on the day and led all S&P 500 sector advances. The S&P 500 growth index increased by 0.9%, while the S&P 500 value index declined by 0.4%.


Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, stated that the U.S. economy would encounter turbulence as a result of the Fed's attempts to reduce inflation that is more than three times its target, and that recent stock market volatility will not dissuade policymakers.


In a speech on Tuesday addressing excessive inflation, Vice President Joe Biden said he was considering lifting Trump-era tariffs on China as a means of reducing prices for goods in the United States.


Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) shares jumped 1.7% after the company announced it will pay $11.6 billion to acquire Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Co. (NYSE:BHVN). Biohaven shares increased 68.4%.


Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON) fell 8.7 percent as the workout equipment manufacturer cautioned the business was "thinly financed" following a quarterly revenue decline of 23.6 percent.
