US stocks rose on Wednesday, recovering some of the losses from a recent sell-off as investors braced for Nvidia's quarterly report.
Investors were also awaiting key jobs data delayed by the longest US government shutdown in history.
All three major US stock indexes closed in the red, led by a rally in the technology sector that led the Nasdaq to lead the market.
Artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaker Nvidia reported better-than-expected earnings and forecast higher-than-expected fourth-quarter results, supporting the stock market rally in recent months.
The S&P 500 rose 0.38% to 6,642.19 points, the Dow Jones rose 0.10% to 46,138.77 points, while the tech-focused Nasdaq rose 0.59% to 22,564.23 points.
The rise in market sentiment was also supported by the return of key jobs data that was unavailable during the longest US government shutdown.
In other news, minutes from the Federal Reserve's (Fed) October meeting showed policymakers were more divided than usual on interest rates, although some members warned that the move could weaken efforts to rein in inflation.
Meanwhile, the NFP jobs data for September will be released on Thursday at 9:30 pm, which is expected to affect the Fed's interest rate decision at its monetary policy meeting next month.
However, the Labor Department announced that the combined October and November jobs report will be released later after the government shutdown prevented the collection of key data.
This leaves the Fed with more limited information on the labor market at its December policy meeting.
US Treasury yields rose after the US government announced that October and November jobs data will not be released before the December Fed policy meeting, reducing expectations for a third and final interest rate cut this year.
