Technology stocks led a broad rally on Wall Street Tuesday during a holiday-shortened trading session ahead of Christmas.

The S&P 500 rose 1.1% for its third-straight gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.9%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite climbed 1.3%.

While Big Tech companies, including Apple, Amazon and chip company Broadcom helped push the market higher, the gains were widespread.

Advancers outnumbered decliners by more than 3-to-1 on the New York Stock Exchange.
