    The S&P 500 broke a five-session losing streak. After cresting Monday just beyond 5% for the first time since 2007, meanwhile, the yield on the 10-year note settled at 4.840%.

    Dramatic swings in government bonds have rattled financial markets recently and complicated the outlook for when the Federal Reserve may begin cutting interest rates.

    As of Tuesday's close:

    Stocks advanced. The S&P 500, the Dow and tech-heavy Nasdaq moved higher. The Dow was up about 205 points.

    General Electric, 3M and Coca-Cola stocks all finished higher after the companies raised their financial outlooks. GE climbed after saying it would shed its power business in 2024. (Here's the Heard on the Street take on Coke's results.)

    Verizon leaped. The telecom giant rose about 9%, making it the Dow's best performer, after boosting its forecast.
