Stocks are up today and investors wondering why have come to the right place, as we know all about the rally lifting stocks higher on Tuesday!

A big reason why stocks are up today has to do with earnings season. We’re knee-deep into it with many major companies releasing their latest reports. Fortunately, positive results are pushing shares higher today!

Two examples of that are General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Spotify (NYSE:SPOT). Both of these companies beat out estimates for the quarter and are lifting other shares in their sectors higher.

Adding to that are investors waiting for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) to release its earnings report after markets close today. Depending on how it performs, stocks could continue this rally tomorrow or might end up in the red.

Keeping all of that in mind, let’s check out how the major stock indices are performing today below!
