Broad gains led by technology stocks pushed Wall Street to more records. The S&P 500 set another all-time-high Tuesday. The gains mirror much of the action from the previous year, when big technology stocks often drove the market to a series of records. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6%, driven by more gains from tech giants including Microsoft and Amazon. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.6%. Markets get several updates on the job market this week that could shed more light on where the economy and interest rates are heading.
