  "account": "Global equities climbed on Tuesday as traders anticipated economic data and awaited Nvidia's earnings results, while bond yields dropped and oil prices fell after the U.S. threatened to broaden sanctions against Iran. U.S. 10-year and 30-year bond yields experienced their second consecutive day of declines as investors deliberated the implications of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's decision to increase Treasury buybacks. Bessent had previously cautioned countries to sever financial ties with Iran or face secondary sanctions, as part of the \"economic D-Day.\" However, oil prices tumbled to a one-week low due to traders perceiving economic pressure as a lesser threat to oil supplies than a military escalation. On Wall Street, the heavyweights of the technology sector were poised to recover some of Monday's losses, ahead of Nvidia's second-quarter results after market close on Wednesday. Tim Ghriskey, a senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder, noted that the market boost was primarily driven by Nvidia's anticipated strong earnings report. The strategist also mentioned that Treasury yields were moving in the opposite direction, which was favorable for the stock market, though the move was modest. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 61.73 points, or 0.12%, to 53,479.37; the S&P 500 increased by 12.47 points, or 0.16%, to 7,665.33; and the Nasdaq Composite rose 102.64 points, or 0.39%, to 26,082.83. MSCI's global equities index rose 3.08 points, or 0.27%, to 1,148.31, while the pan-European STOXX 600 index climbed 0.37%. Earlier, MSCI's broad Asia-Pacific index outside Japan surged 0.56% at 1,642.24, and Japan's Nikkei increased 328.34 points, or 0.50%, to 65,856.43. In Treasuries, the yield on the benchmark 10-year note fell 5.55 basis points to 4.649%, and the 30-year bond yield declined 5.04 basis points to 5.1806%. Among currencies, the U.S. dollar remained roughly unchanged as market participants considered Washington's expanded sanctions against Iran and efforts to ease pressure on longer-dated Treasury yields.",
