US stocks climbed as investors regained confidence following a selloff in technology shares. A wave of dip buying, meaning investors buying after prices fall, pushed stocks toward their best day since April. The gains came even as Nvidia's shares faced difficulties.

Other commentary has questioned whether the rally can last. Some analysts have called certain chip stocks bargains, but the rally's durability remains an open question.
