### U.S. Markets Climb; Palantir and Robinhood Lead Stock Gains

On Tuesday, U.S. markets experienced a notable uplift, with significant gains observed across the major indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 0.3% to close at 42,090.37, while the S&P 500 climbed nearly 1% to end the day at 5,751.13. The Nasdaq showed the most significant growth, advancing by 1.45% to finish at 18,182.92.

Palantir Technologies Inc. stood out among the stocks, with its shares surging by 6.58% and closing at $41.45, just shy of its intraday high of $41.49. This surge follows an endorsement from Ark Invest, highlighting the strong potential for Palantir and similar firms to benefit from the AI boom, potentially surpassing more established tech giants. Notably, the stock's 52-week range spans from a low of $14.48 to its recent high.

Contrarily, Roblox experienced a dip in its stock value, decreasing by 2.13% to close at $40.51. The stock reached an intraday low of $37.5, with a 52-week range of $29.55 to $48.43. This decline was largely due to a report by Hindenburg Research, which accused the gaming platform of inflating key user metrics.

The Boeing Company saw a decline of 0.81%, with shares closing at $154.65 and hitting an intraday low of $154.14. Concerns arose following a safety alert from the Federal Aviation Administration regarding a potential rudder system jam in Boeing 737 airplanes. The stock's 52-week high and low are recorded at $267.54 and $149.49, respectively.

Meanwhile, Robinhood Markets Inc. experienced a significant uplift, with its shares soaring by 9.82% and closing at $25.61. The stock achieved an intraday high of $25.8, which also marks its 52-week high. The surge is attributed to positive analyst predictions regarding the company’s third-quarter performance.

Lastly, Tesla's shares rose by 1.52%, closing at $244.5, and hit an intraday high of $246.21. The stock's 52-week high and low are $271 and $138.8, respectively. The increase comes ahead of Tesla's anticipated Robotaxi event, even as a Pew Research survey indicated that 63% of American adults express reluctance to ride in a driverless vehicle.
