U.S. stocks faced heavy pressure on Tuesday as Treasury yields climbed to new highs [252245]. Rising yields make bonds more attractive compared to stocks, pulling money out of the equity market. Oil prices also gave up earlier gains, adding to the cautious mood as higher energy costs can fuel inflation and keep pressure on the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates high [252245].

One bright spot emerged: Nvidia shares rose after the chipmaker announced a stock buyback [252245]. A buyback is when a company purchases its own shares, which can lift the stock price by reducing the number of shares available. The move defied the broader market selloff and drew investor attention to the chipmaker [252213].

Across the Atlantic, European stocks tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure climbed on Tuesday as investor enthusiasm for AI returned [250203]. The rally marked a shift in mood after investors had grown cautious about AI spending in recent weeks. AI infrastructure includes the data centers, chips, and networking equipment that power AI systems [250203].

Investors are now waiting for upcoming economic data for clues on the Fed's next move [252245].
