The S&P 500 posted modest gains to end a four-day losing streak.

US500 or S&P 500 index rose 0.10% on Tuesday after cementing four-day straight sessions of declines. The Index was led higher in the later part of the session driven by the energy, communication services and materials sectors. On Tuesday, The Bank of Japan moved to loosen a cap on 10-year government bond yields, a potential sign of a shift away from its ultraloose monetary policies that set the global bond yields up. Investors bet that we are at the end of rate hiking cycles and the most central banks could stop hiking rates next year.
