S&P 500, Nasdaq at record highs ahead of Trump speech

(Reuters) - The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes rose to record highs on Tuesday as trade-sensitive technology stocks gained ahead of a much-awaited speech by President Donald Trump, which was likely to provide some clarity on the U.S.-China tariff talks.

Hopes of a resolution to the 16-month long tariff dispute and a strong corporate earnings season have powered Wall Street's gains so far this month.

All 11 major S&P 500 sectors were trading higher, with the technology sector's 0.53% rise providing the biggest boost, followed by healthcare shares.
