The DJIA and S&P 500 climbed to new highs on Tuesday, shrugging off weak US consumer confidence data. All 3 major US stock indexes closed higher. Hitting a new all-time high at the market open on Tuesday, the DJIA broke above the peak again during the day, rising as much as 156 points to a new high of 42,281.

Regulatory filings showed that NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang temporarily halted selling the shares, leading to a 4% rise in NVIDIA's stock price, which pushed up the Nasdaq.
